Teach, research, and write about African politics & pandemics. Author: Doomed Interventions 📕. Editor, The Monkey Cage 🖥. Host, Ufahamu Africa 🎙. Mom of 2. #FirstGen. 🇰🇷+🇺🇸.
This is the African politics co-editors' swan song for
#TheMonkeyCage's time at the Washington Post.
Together, @texasinafrica and I reflected on some of the great analysis our colleagues wrote up this year (including a few pieces published elsewhere).
apropos of a friend asking about #ChatGPT on Facebook earlier today, I was curious what it would spit out if I asked it "What is #TheMonkeyCage ?"
It was /mostly/ correct.

The Monkey Cage is a blog that is affiliated with The Washington Post and focuses on political science research and analysis...It is named after a type of enclosure used in laboratories to study non-human primates, and the name is meant to reflect the blog's focus on the "political animal."

Don't miss this great overview of Russian public opinion on the war in Ukraine, by Bryn Rosenfeld and published today in #TheMonkeyCage.
Spent today reminding myself how to tightly roll an egg roll so my parents could fry (100+ of) them and we could eat (only a few of) them and then we could walk it off. #HappyHolidays
In honor of #InternationalMigrantsDay yesterday, @texasinafrica & I wrote a review piece in #TheMonkeyCage on 3 recently published books examining the experiences of refugees and migrants and their host countries in #Africa and beyond.
I hope you'll read the review. More importantly, I hope you'll read the books. I learned from each of them.
Sally Hayden's book in particular is a very difficult read (because of the content, not the writing).

Today's the 1st day of the #USAfricaLeadersSummit. Joe Asunka, the CEO of #Afrobarometer is there and just tweeted how #Botswana's government consulted Afrobarometer data in its decision to decriminalize same sex relations.
This is HUGE. Let me also say that lessons drawn from my research with Boniface Dulani using 3+ decades of survey research in Africa suggest that decriminalization will also be powerful in shaping more tolerant attitudes.
