A few days ago I submitted an EU grant proposal. 👷🏼‍♀️👩🏼‍🎓💪🏻… the ones who did. that before know how much work that is. 😥 I‘ve put more work than ever before and submitted days before the Deadline. Why? My career in academia may depend on it… #EU @unisalzburg.bsky.social @jessfortin-ritt.bsky.social

…out of office.

Vielen Dank für die Einladung in "Das Politikteil" - Podcast @zeit.de. Ich habe mit @ileanagrabitz.bsky.social und Peter Dausend über die AfD zwischen Radikalisierung und Deradikalisierung gesprochen.

🎉Last week the president of the European Parliament proposed reforms of the parental leave regulations for MEPs. 🧨 About a year ago we published a paper on the topic proposing similar reforms and discussing the underlying problems. See: www.cogitatiopress.com/politicsandg... #EP #PiP @SophieKopsch

People around the world are choosing not to buy American products to demonstrate their anger at President Trump’s policies. “We all feel that we are doing something,” said one boycotter. “We are acting on our frustration.”

Spring has arrived in Belgium. 🤩 #Unamur

This week, my seminar on "Women & Politics: Actors, Discourses, Practices" starts. We look at actors such as female MPs and feminist movements, debates on abortion or focus on gendered interactions in parliament and on social media. Looking forward to interesting sessions 1/ #academicsky #gendersky

Next week Tuesday: join us for the @ecprsgeu.bsky.social online seminar : Career Orientation and Legislative Behaviour in the European Parliament: How Institutional and Political Transformations Re-Shape MEPs’ Behaviour (1979-2024) with Jeremy Dodeigne, @frechelena.bsky.social ecpr.eu/Events/297

Monnet & Schuman be like ‘clearly we founded the hottest thing in town, and now some folks are angry they didn’t make the VIP list’

Yes, indeed! It appears that kids who spend time with fathers have more gender egalitarian attitudes and perceive less stereotypical social norms in this paper: www.iza.org/publications...

In Quebec, introducing daddy quotas for parental leaves did not affect gender wage gap or social norms of those affected but share of fathers taking leave increased from 20% to 60% Maybe social norms change slowly, so we do not observe large effect immediately in data wol.iza.org/opinions/pat...

Fassungslos, wie inhaltsleer, hasszerfressen und ideenlos Alice Weidel die Frechheit besitzt, in so eine Sendung zu gehen. Wer soll das wählen? Wie dumm muss man sein? #Quadrel

As during the last weeks, this weekend hundred thousands took to the streets in Germany. They are concerned of what a success of the radical right in next weeks election #BTW25 will mean to Immigrants, Woman, LGTBQ+ people and so many more.

Was kann man jetzt tun? Mein Rat: In eine Partei eintreten. Sich engagieren, wenn es geht. Ändert sich dann morgen die Welt? Nein. Aber man ist mit Leuten zusammen, die ähnliche Sorgen/Ziele haben wie man selbst. Und das nicht nur auf einer Demo, sondern in Strukturen, in denen man gestalten kann.

Über das gesamte Wochenende waren es 214 Demos mit über 360.000 Teilnehmenden! #tdgr

Was gerade in den USA passiert ist eine Blaupause für andere Länder. Sobald die AfD auch nur einen Funken echter Regierungsmacht in den Händen hält, wird alles genauso schnell gehen. Niemand soll sich der naiven Illusion hingeben, es würde schon nicht so schlimm werden.

Alle einmal lesen bitte! Vor allem die Herren im Feuilleton.

Winter in Belgium…

🙏 hopefully some UK institutions will follow suit

Alice Weidel nennt Universitäten "queer-woke Kaderschmieden" und sagt: "Wir schließen alle Gender Studies und schmeißen alle diese Professoren raus". Die Naturwissenschafts-Community muss sich hier klar auf die Seite der Geistes- & Sozialwissenschaft stellen. Das ist ein Angriff auf alle. (Thread)
