☀️☀️Academic friends wondering what to do with their sabbatical next year (FYI Jan 31 NOT a hard deadline) or the one after:

Consider visiting us in Madrid for a term or 2!

We have a great community in polisci/political economy/HPE/pol.behavior + offices and can help with settling you here.

yayyyy 🤩

i think some level of worry is appropriate in this situation, but I believe we are far from "stopping online experiments altogether".

With all due respect to the authors (the study raises a “potential” concern), but its framing overstates that concern imo. A few things worth flagging before everyone panics 1/

Finaliza el Workshop Internacional del proyecto #NORPOL en la Residencia de Estudiantes.

Dos jornadas de debate interdisciplinar con investigadores de Europa y Estados Unidos, organizadas por @luismmiller.bsky.social y @amaliaab.bsky.social

Compartimos algunas imágenes de esta última jornada.

El proyecto #NORPOL que he tenido la suerte de liderar junto a @amaliaab.bsky.social está llegando a su fin. Pero nos quedan muchos datos e ideas para tratar de segui entendiendo el cambio de las normas sociales que hoy regulan la política.

The Women’s Forum will meet on July 1st in the afternoon and will host flash talks for junior scholars as well as a panel on women in academia. We hope to see you there!

Two AI generated images showing 1) a boy walking through a disorderly neighbourhood with graffiti and trash and 2) a boy walking through a very similar but cleaned up neighbourhood without trash ad graffiti.

Can AI-generated images work as visual vignettes in survey experiments? I argue yes - and discuss how . in my new @sscratsage.bsky.social paper: doi.org/10.1177/0894...

So proud and happy of our #MESS2025 — growing in size, diversity, quality, and good vibes every year!

Fail Better: Why Your Rejections Will Shape You More Than Your Publications The Art of Learning from Rejection

Every academic career is built on rejection, but we don’t show it.

CVs list publications, grants & awards, not rejected manuscripts, unfunded proposals, or failures.

But those invisible rejections shape us more than our successes ever do.

I have never felt as wanted as I did this past August, when I received 14 review requests.

Radical-right parties are often linked to the “left-behind”. But supporting them when stigma is strong is costly. So who is willing to pay that cost early on, before it’s normalized?

In my new WP, I argue that breaking political norms is socially stratified. 🧵👇

I think we need a more nuanced analysis of the link between 2nd-order beliefs and climate action. It’s often assumed that underestimating support for policies leads to inaction, but our findings suggest it can also be a volunteer’s dilemma.
