Gestern Interview mit Rheinischer Post zur Frage, inwiefern Zusammenarbeit BSW/AfD wem nützt oder schadet. Jetzt laufen - wie erwartbar - die Mail- und Postfächer voll. Wissenschaftsfreiheit stirbt auch damit, wenn so aktiv versucht wird, Meinungsäußerung einzuschüchtern.

Very interesting and important paper on the development of education bias in prob-based surveys in Germany www.tandfonline.com/doi/epdf/10....

What the hell is wrong with academic Publishing right now?

Our newest piece on BSW is now published. We show that when attitudes toward Wagenknecht come into the game, policies are no longer that meaningful in predicting behaviour. Personalisation in a personalised party! What a surprise! 😀 @sarahwagner.bsky.social www.tandfonline.com/doi/epdf/10....
