My friend Isaac Brickman and I have a new article out on middleware in the Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science: https://journals.sagepub.com/eprint/JMYZ3GJKPE7UTCN8ZR3K/full
This is work that came directly out of Isaac's undergrad thesis at UMass Amherst - it's always cool to collaborate with students, but to have this work shared at the highest levels of scholarship is something I'm very proud of.
