I agree with this, but I'm still kinda on #TeamComplicated when it comes to political science and ideological diversity. https://twitter.com/dataandpolitics/status/1042793702358503425 …

I'm not opposed to there being more Republicans, but I think that is a lower priority than other forms of diversity in political science and I think it is telling when that's the one that people zoom in on.

I'm a little dismayed at seeing some of my friends and colleagues tweeting about the lack of "opposing views" on the things they teach. I get it, you're teaching facts and tradeoffs. But I don't think this is really the intellectual direction we want to take

What facts we choose and how we present them and whose voices we center are pretty ideological/value-driven even if not in ways that map onto contemporary partisan politics.

Fair. Though contemporary partisan politics is how most judge it. Putting this another way: There are a lot more conservatives in 2018 poli sci departments than Republicans. But the measure is party ID, not beliefs or ideology.

that's definitely true of my students and I think of my colleagues too. breaking that frame is my job (everything is D-R). it is increasingly an overtime job.

Can't stop, won't stop. (But yeah, it's exhausting. Pushing into IR now, more than it had. For example, I teach North Korea as a non-proliferation case, and noting that North Korea isn't denuclearizing has become a partisan position).
