On my way to Groningen. To try the famous 'eierbal', of course. But also to present work in progress on the radical right in legislative committees at the Politicologenetmaal 2025.

Thanks, Sarah!

Yes, false. I checked this with LISS Panel Data some time ago: social democrats don't flow to the far right much. Not now, not in earlier elections. (old WIP plot, might need to resuscitate this at some point..).

Great advice by @catherinedevries.bsky.social on breaking down bigger research projects. For my fellow grads: 4 years ago I would have felt guilty not sitting in front of my screen. Over the years I've realized that my most productive moments are spent away from my screen.

🚨 New paper 🚨 with @pstanig.bsky.social forthcoming at @thejop.bsky.social 🎉 about the political consequences of climate-related disasters 🌲💦⚠️

Farmers are protesting in Westminster, what might the political consequences be?

Our research on farmer protests in 🇳🇱 provides some clues.

osf.io/preprints/os...

Bottom line: due to popularity of farmers + media bias, this likely creates major political headache for Starmer government.

🚨NEW PAPER ALERT 🚨

Together with @dirckdekleer.bsky.social & @simonvanteutem.bsky.social, I wrote a paper about public opinion about climate protests in 🇳🇱

We find a bias in public support for & tabloid reporting on protests, favouring farmers over climate activists 👇

Americans Show Little Support for Content Moderation of Toxic Speech - In the APSA Public Scholarship Program, graduate students in political science produce summaries of new research in the American Political Science Review. This piece, written by Dirck de Kleer, covers the new article by Franziska [...]

When does toxic speech cross the line? Well, it depends.. Read my @apsa.bsky.social summary of @franziskapradel.bsky.social, @janzilinsky.bsky.social, @spyroskosmidis.bsky.social and @yannistheocharis.bsky.social's recent APSR article on this here: politicalsciencenow.com/americans-sh...

Book worms, what are the must-go bookstores I should visit in London?

My preparations for moving to London are in full swing

I'm really excited to be visiting the LSE this spring semester 🇬🇧. Can't wait! Thanks @florianfoos.bsky.social and @sarahobolt.bsky.social for making this happen!

⚠️Polisky WP: What are the political consequences of plant disease epidemics 🌱🦠? @catherinedevries.bsky.social, Nico Bariletto and I answer this question studying the outbreak of Xylella that exterminated olive groves in Puglia starting in 2013. What we find? See thread ⬇️ or: osf.io/preprints/os...

One of the most striking charts from our paper imo is this one:

The vast majority of Economics PhDs at top-ranked programs have a parent with a *graduate* degree - particularly among the American students.

That is, we are drawing from an extremely narrow socioeconomic pool.

Learned a lot summarizing
@acooperman.bsky.social 's new APSR
article. Communities that bloc vote can pressure local politicians to deliver crucial public services. Check the @apsa.bsky.social summary and original article below:

Thanks for the tip, Reda! I'm gonna take a closer look at at.

Hi all! 👋 I'm a 3th-yr PolSci PhD student at Bocconi working on pol behavior. I'm interested in how ppl and politicians navigate the boundaries between extreme and moderate attitudes/behaviors. I'm visiting Princeton this Fall 2023. I'd love to get a coffee if you're in the area. ddkleer.github.io
