Thank you!! Haha yes indeed!

I'm very happy to have started my postdoctoral position at @mpifg.bsky.social, after submitting my PhD at @eui-eu.bsky.social! I'll be continuing to research the political economy of climate change, with a focus on the building sector. Feel free to reach out if you are in Cologne!

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. 🧵👇

It’s striking how much these patterns are similar across many European counties (both the center left one and the radical right one).

And yet there’s much work to be done in shifting the discourse from competing narratives that have little empirical backing.

“.. democracy often erodes slowly at first .. But with each concession, autocrats become bolder.. and reversal becomes harder. Responses that, early on, can feel pragmatic—waiting it out, remaining silent, cutting a deal—only embolden ..”

Looking at the deployment of the "2tonnes workshop", we studied the knowledge gained, emotions felt, perception of responsibilities related to climate change, and opinions on climate policies among students.

Join our webinar on the impact of climate education workshops in France on Wednesday July 23 at 3 PM (in French)! @renschazottes.bsky.social, @susannagarside.bsky.social, @maxbradley.bsky.social, and I will share findings from our study of over 2000 students across 10 higher education institutions.

Excellent entretien avec @magalireghezza.bsky.social sur l'adaptation au réchauffement climatique et les défis qui sont là maintenant - par @audreygarric.bsky.social

If you’re a political scientist please consider joining @epssnet.bsky.social as a member to help support this new (not for profit!) organization and the next European Political Science Conference in 2026 in Belfast 👇

If that’s not in the budget: spreading the word is just as important 😊

Et c'est justement la semaine prochaine que devraient être publiées les premières estimations pour les émissions de GES nationales du 1er trimestre qui devraient être très mauvaises.

On compte sur les politiques pour enfin réagir (et sur les journalistes pour les interroger sur le sujet).

On est juste à +1.3º. Ce n’est rien comparé à ce qui nous attend. Que signifient compétitivité, croissance, souveraineté, innovation, sécurité, travail, retraites ou démocratie à +2º?

Plus le mercure grimpe, plus on recule sur la transition. Que faut-il faire pour que nos décideurs comprennent?

🚨 working paper (w. @morganlcj.bsky.social @markuswagner.bsky.social): Protesters are not judged equally - even if tactics of groups are similar.

We ran an experiment in 🇩🇪 testing how people react to farmers vs. climate activists blocking roads.

What we find is disturbing:

There’s so much happening right now, I thought I’d put together a running thread on the dismantling of #climate and research and knowledge infrastructure in the United States 🧵

We just finalized the program for our PDW for our SER special issue on the Socio-Economics of Loss and Decline in the Climate Crisis.

Super excited that this is actually happening very soon, together with @vapunkt.bsky.social, @trgn.bsky.social and this amazing crowd of scholars!

« D’Éric Ciotti à Jean-Luc Mélenchon, en passant par le chef du gouvernement, François Bayrou, un cartel de l’impunité s’ébroue pour dire qu’un tribunal qui applique… la loi causerait un trouble à l’ordre démocratique. On en est là et il faut vraiment se frotter les yeux pour le croire. »

Max Planck Summer School for Women in Political Economy

To all female scholars, working in the broad field of political economy: Apply for the Max Planck Summer School for women in political economy! Two years ago we had a blast!

The distance between a legal resident who's not a citizen being deported without due process and a citizen being deported without due process is a hell of a lot shorter than many folks seem to believe, and when it does happen to a citizen, just remember it started here and who was quiet in response.

The universities should form a common front to articulate the corrupt and authoritarian threat, and they should do it while they still can…. If you’re going to get hammered either way, at least stand for you values…you might be the spark that saves the country. But solidarity in numbers is key…

We’re beyond thrilled to launch the 2nd Max Planck Summer School for Women in Political Economy

If you’re a fellow political economist annoyed by all-male rooms & gendered comments— join us & share!
