Article Enumerator Experiences in Violent Research Environments Comparative Political Studies 2024, Vol. 57(4) 675-709 © The Authors) 2023 Article reuse guidelines: sagepub.com/journals-permissions DOI: 10.1177/00104140231 178735 journals.sagepub.com/home/cps S Sage Justine M. Davis'® and Martha Wilfahrt? Abstract Understanding political and social effects of violence in local populations through public opinion surveys has become increasingly common interna-tionally. Yet while researchers are attuned to possible challenges induced during survey implementation, this work focuses almost uniformly on re-spondents. This paper considers survey enumerators as critical actors for data collection in violent research settings. We present survey results from 245 enumerators in Côte d'voire to show that their personal feelings of insecurity and exposure to violence while conducting surveys may condition challenges faced and compromises made to gathering data. We shed light on how academic research in violent political settings poses unique security concerns for enumerators, with ramifications for data integrity. Keywords African politics, survey design, civil war Introduction In the wake of a sharp uptick in academic surveys (Lupu & Michelitch, 2018) and field experiments (Baldassarri & Abascal, 2017) run in the Global South, 'University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI, USA 'University of California, Berkeley, CA, USA Corresponding Author: Justine M.

The Second Coming BY WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS Turning and turning in the widening gyre The falcon cannot hear the falconer; Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere The ceremony of innocence is drowned; The best lack all conviction, while the worst Are full of passionate intensity.
Bivariate plot of warmth–competence ratings of commonly mentioned jobs. From paper linked in text describing plot: Four-cluster solution describes American job holders. Adults completed an online survey rating previously nominated common jobs on their public images of being warm and trustworthy, as well as competent and capable. Jobs’ mean ratings on the two dimensions are subjected to statistical cluster analysis. Note that these data map reported images of job groups, not the accuracy of those images. Although not the focus here, the middle cluster averages are relatively neutral on both warmth and competence, as well as emotions.
Text screenshot from link: Claude was reminding me of something. Something where I would be responsible but under-credited when the results are presented. Oh my god, was I Claude's nanny?! My male peers might be offput by me calling what it makes of us a 'nanny.' But the point of a nanny is the child, who gets a lion's share of the credit. Misbehavior is blamed on the nanny, or the parents, never the little boy. And work with Al seems to be prioritizing what a special little boy[1] Claude is: look at him try! Sometimes he makes things up, but how impressive! We will weigh the correct things disproportionately to the things little Claude gets wrong. No, we have to let this little guy keep trying, he might change the world! No, no, that vase is not valuable. Someone else can spend the time cleaning it up. You just didn't ask Claude the 'right way!' Look what Claude can do!

Screen capture from Panama Playlists website. Features some of JD Vance playlists. Text reads: PANAMA PLAYLISTS I found the real Spotify accounts of celebrities, politicians, and journalists. Many use their real names. With a little investigating, I could say with near-certainty: yep, this is that person. I’ve been scraping their playlists for over a year. Some individuals even have a setting enabled that displays their last played song. I scraped this continuously, so I know what songs they played, how many times, and when. The Panama Papers revealed hidden bank accounts. This reveals hidden tastes. Not affiliated with Spotify or any of the featured individuals. Album art and song previews from iTunes.

Red cards “know your rights” You have constitutional rights: • DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR if an immigration agent is knocking on the door. • DO NOT ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS from an immigration agent if they try to talk to you. You have the right to remain silent. • DO NOT SIGN ANYTHING without first speaking to a lawyer. You have the right to speak with a lawyer. • If you are outside of your home, ask the agent if you are free to leave and if they say yes, leave calmly. • GIVE THIS CARD TO THE AGENT. If you are inside of your home, show the card through the window or slide it under the door.

highlighted paragraph reads: "Yoon has rewarded those loyal to him – and punished dissenters. While loyalty tests to reward and punish legislators are not unprecedented in the South Korean presidency, the PPP faction that supports Yoon has gone further, prioritizing internal party power struggles over their constitutional obligation to check the president’s actions. This dynamic has weakened the legislature’s role as a critical counterbalance to executive power."

You mean like a bonus french fry in the bottom of the bag? Like a champagne shower? Like triple texting good news? Like buying coffee for the person behind you in line? Or did you mean "a bit much" like an unexpected upgrade to business class / or theme parties / or the band pretending to go off stage and then coming back for an unforgettable encore? Perhaps you were referring to that thing of being astonished by a sunset / or how puppies flop around when they learn to run / or the way some people take karaoke really seriously? Maybe you just meant sprinkles / confetti / balloon drops / witty comebacks / generous tips / fireworks / waterslides / serotonin / cherries on top / and the fact that maybe we were put on this planet simply to enjoy ourselves? Then yes, I agree—she is a bit much. Aren't we so lucky she's here?

Fuck Your Lecture on Craft, My People Are Dying BY NOOR HINDI Colonizers write about flowers. I tell you about children throwing rocks at Israeli tanks seconds before becoming daisies. I want to be like those poets who care about the moon. Palestinians don't see the moon from jail cells and prisons. It's so beautiful, the moon. They're so beautiful, the flowers. I pick flowers for my dead father when I'm sad. He watches Al Jazeera all day. I wish Jessica would stop texting me Happy Ramadan. I know I'm American because when I walk into a room something dies. Metaphors about death are for poets who think ghosts care about sound. When I die, I promise to haunt you forever. One day, I'll write about the flowers like we own them.
