Die Übernahme von Rechtsaußenpositionen führt zur #Normalisierung dieser Parteien - das ist empirisch mittlerweile sehr gut belegt, wird aber immer wieder ignoriert. Für @lagedernation.org haben @tabouchadi.bsky.social und ich hier versucht aufzuräumen (ab 1h 13). 🎤 lagedernation.org/podcast/ldn4...

Do men see gender parity in representation as detrimental to their interests? What about when women’s representation exceeds parity? And how do such shifts affect men’s fairness perceptions? I address these questions in my article, now published in PRQ. 1/9

I'm so pleased to see our new article out in Perspectives on Politics.
Since I moved to Australia, I've heard many people say "you'll never publish in a top US journal with Australia as your only case" (and they weren't wrong to think that).
But yesterday, we did.
Thread by Josh about it below:
What a pleasure it was to participate in the 2nd #REXKLIMA workshop & to present some work on the #mainstreaming & #normalisation of the #farright (🤝 @gefjonoff.bsky.social). Thanks to @manesweisskircher.bsky.social et al. for bringing together so many great minds & kind souls from across Europe! ✨

📍AI can write, but only you can make it matter.
In my new Respect the Marble post, I explore how AI reduces friction, the time & effort it takes to wrestle with ideas.
We need friction for writing. I share of rough guide on how to save it.

🚨My first published article together with @galais.bsky.social is out:
“Beyond fear and anger: the demobilizing role of sadness in far right voting in Spain”
In this article we address the emotional dynamics behind support for Vox in Spain.
🧵What do we find?
www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....
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. 🧵👇

The University of Cologne plans drastic cuts to its Political Science department, potentially abolishing the MSc in Political Science and eliminating the professorships in IR and Comparative Politics. This would severely weaken the social sciences at @unicologne.bsky.social.

We all know there's a gender gap in support for the populist radical right. Where there is debate is on the why
