1st article from my dissertation is out in Perspectives today!!

two takeaways: a) knowledge economy 'winners' may not be subject to status loss but they sure care about status preservation & b) this is consequential for their attitudes re: immigration & diversity.

Thnx 2 all along this journey!!

A thoughtful and well-argued critique of the common measure of subjective social status, increasingly used in survey-based studies of populism ⬇️

I am looking for a PhD student in Comparative Politics @powimz.bsky.social. My research focuses on political (in-)equality, representation, and responsiveness. I would be grateful if you could help to spread the word.

So great to see Voters Under Pressure featured in this @comppol.bsky.social review article by @klingelt.bsky.social!

Reviewing the book alongside work of Bartels and Tillman, Tristan's reading is the mandate function of elections is being challenged👇

An exceptional piece of scholarship by @pauliinapatana.bsky.social , which goes straight on my Qualitative Methods syllabus as it is a perfect example of the value of mixed methods research. It is also highly relevant for my own work on European politics and the far right. Bravo! 👏

Even in times of sociocultural conflict, a progressive left electorate is more averse to sociocultural *and* socioeconomic inequalities than (far) right voters.

Exactly right

Two scholars warn of Israel’s democratic backsliding, hidden by Oct. 7’s fog of war In their new Hebrew-language book 'Democracy in Retreat,' Noam Gidron and Yaniv Roznai claim the government is using populism and polarization to chip away at democracy

Alternatively, you can read this interview with the excellent @noamgidron.bsky.social & Yaniv Roznai.

Also a reminder that boycotting all Israeli academics is not just morally dubious (collective punishment) but also strengthens rather than weakens the Israeli far right.

"those who discussed immigration in their open-ended responses expressed far more distrust towards opponents – an effect driven by right-wing respondents who discussed immigration"

1/3) 📣Out in Party Politics:
We trace the equal rights and economic equality positions of 69 center-right and far-right parties since 1970 in 12 countries. We find that center right parties did not react to/address equal rights concerns and economic inequality

Farewell to the 2024-25 class!! 👋 😘 👊

5. Discussions of effectiveness should also be mindful of the fact that ethnic/racial minorities, as well as their grievances, are perceived as more violent by the public even when peaceful, since perceptions are biased, e.g. my work with @tmitts.bsky.social here:. www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

Excellent op-ed on nonviolent protest from @robbwiller.bsky.social and @owasow.bsky.social on the importance of nonviolence here www.nytimes.com/2025/06/17/o.... Some additional points worth noting:

An important piece from the @apsrjournal.bsky.social (by @devorahmanekin.bsky.social and @tmitts.bsky.social) to make sense of ongoing events: it matters not only which tactics are adopted by protesters but also who they are.

Yes, but tactics are perceived and covered through racialized lenses that frame them as threatening regardless of facts on the ground.

This was up there with one of @rafaelbehr.bsky.social's best eps. I learned a lot from @m-b-petersen.bsky.social Next up, Raf should talk to @noamgidron.bsky.social about status and populism - would make for a great follow up. Oh, and it's given me an earworm for one of my favourite ever tracks!

Thinking about immigration from a cultural perspective heightens distrust of political opponents—with Adams, @rwillh11.bsky.social and @ttichelbaecker.bsky.social at @bjpols.bsky.social. Might interest scholars of polarization and ideology, and those analyzing open-ended questions. cup.org/3ZajcQ1

Another great paper by @ttichelbaecker.bsky.social of now also TU Chemnitz. Congrats, Thomas!

Interesting substack on interesting research, identifying one more way to be right — this time, through culture wars:

Happy to share a new paper now out in EJPR w/ @jeyalizade.bsky.social , @fabioellger.bsky.social and @mgruenewald.bsky.social exploring gendered effects of political violence on political supply.

Designing economic policy that strengthens U.S. democracy and incorporates people’s lived experiences Why U.S. policymakers should approach economic policy with an eye to its downstream political effects on democracy and policy approaches.

We're in an age of surging right-wing populism here in the US and around the globe, threatening democracy and growth. Should policymakers care? And how should they respond? In an essay for @equitablegrowth.bsky.social, Shayna Strom and I answer these questions: equitablegrowth.org/designing-ec... 1/
