Rooibos tea is tasty, healthy, and can bring the world a little closer. Is interdependence really all that bad? My take: globalcommons.substack.com/p…

We can put up more guardrails against AI-related cheating. But maybe we should talk more with students about integrity and trust, and create a learning atmosphere in which faculty don't need to police. That's what I argue in my Global Commons substack: globalcommons.substack.com/p…

Terrific piece by @jasonfurman on grade deflation at Harvard: nytimes.com/2026/05/21/opini… For faculty/universities it's tricky — we want students to focus on learning and take risks, yet grades provide motivation and feedback. No perfect solution. Curious to see impact, response.

New in @PLOSONE w/ @VolhaCharnysh, J Kalow & E Walk: How do race, nationality & partisanship shape U.S. support for climate disaster aid?
Two svy expt (N=7,511): Americans give less to Global South victims, esp. Republicans. Race effects context-dependent.
