This portion of my website (/notes/) is the site formerly known as wikisum.com. Many years ago, my friends in graduate school and I would routinely share our reading notes with one another. We all read each article, but we crowdsourced the responsibility of summarizing our readings. When we were preparing for our comprehensive exams, I collected many of these summaries from peers and imported them into a wiki (wikisummary, or wikisum), hoping it would take off and attract hordes of graduate students and political scientists interested in maintaining an up-to-date knowledge base of all political science has to offer. It turns out I was too optimistic. Hundreds of people read the summaries, but almost nobody contributed new ones. Eventually, I quit renewing the wikisum domain and converted the contents into this static website. The summaries grow more dated each year, but since they might still have some use, they're still here—even if the name "wikisum" has become a bit of a misnomer. Enjoy.
