Today, @lintuslotta.bsky.social defended her doctoral thesis on educational inequalities at the @eui-eu.bsky.social Great defense, thanks to Lotta and the commiittee with @kbkarlson.bsky.social Bess Bukodi and @hermwerf.bsky.social

🌅📙 64.3 #Brextinction Considering support decline for #Brexit since 2016, @fresejoris.bsky.social @juhoharkonen.bsky.social & @simonhix.bsky.social look at #CohortReplacement to argue that generational shifts will keep pressuring Brexit support to 2030 🔗

Good to see a piece about the EUI in The Economist. But this is a hatched job, with little resemblance to reality. Charlemagne is usually excellent, so this is odd. Can only think that @spignal.bsky.social talked to people who don't really know what's going on. www.economist.com/europe/2025/...

Melinda Mills was awarded an honorary doctorate at the @eui-eu.bsky.social. The laudatio was given by @juhoharkonen.bsky.social. @melindacmills.bsky.social congratulations!

Day 1 of the Age-Period-Cohort Workshop - organised by our @rafgrotti.bsky.social - is a wrap! ✨ Key takeaway: the APC identification problem may be an unsolvable puzzle, but there are some tricks to get around it. Thanks to @juhoharkonen.bsky.social & J. van Leeuwen for sharing their expertise!

Hurray to Giuseppe Ciccolini for having his diss. chapter on status loss and PRR voting out in @poppublicsphere.bsky.social A substantive increase in PRR support among classes experiencing a declining relative position in the income dist., even if incomes increased in abs terms. Supervisor proud!

@clic.bsky.social proudly congratulates the winner of the @isa-rc28.bsky.social conference bingo of this year's meeting in Milan 🥳 Congratulations @ivancanzio.bsky.social

☀️ RC28 starting in Milan tomorrow and we are very happy to see many CLICers & friends on the program 🔥 Join us in these great sessions👇

In the afternoon sessions we first had @juhoharkonen.bsky.social presenting new work on flipping birth order effects in the Netherlands

Next up was @juhoharkonen.bsky.social discussing a great and thought-provoking keynote by @ftorche.bsky.social on pre-natal exposures and causal inference assumptions in sociological research 📚📚

Hiring again! Lecturer in Sociology. We're looking for someone strongly anchored in sociology through high-profile contributions, and with the ability to appeal to students and colleagues of various methodological orientations. www.ucl.ac.uk/work-at-ucl/...

Today was my last day as Director of the @eui-eu.bsky.social Max Weber Programme. In September I told the fellows that they will look back at the postdoc years as the best ones of their careers. My years at the MWP matched those. I’ll miss them, the fantastic fellows, and the view from the office

📚 Today, the Max Weber Programme's January Lecture featured Anna Dreber Almenberg, Professor at the Stockholm School of Economics. Professor Dreber Almenberg discussed her co-authored research testing the replicability of experiments published in high impact journals.

Paper rejections enter the quantum revolutions age: our first rejected paper for 2025 (44 mins past midnight) may have been the last paper to be rejected by the journal in 2024.

The last defence of the year, by Esa Karonen! Find the thesis ”Generational Economic Inequality” here: urn.fi/URN:ISBN:978... Opponent @juhoharkonen.bsky.social, custos @niemelamikko.bsky.social Five defences in a month, it has been an excellent end of year at @invest-flagship.bsky.social

We’re doing some trendy polisci 🙂 @fresejoris.bsky.social @simonhix.bsky.social ooir.org/index.php?fi...

Brexit associated with 86% increase in departure of EU origin professors from UK.

Can support for Brexit survive? 🤔 in this paper with @fresejoris.bsky.social @simonhix.bsky.social we estimate that the declining support for Brexit has to an important extent related to older Brexit supporters passing away (and younger Bremainers joinig the electorate). 1/2

Are you a #student who is interested in #Demography and #DataScience & you have no plans for ☀️☀️☀️#summer 2025☀️☀️☀️☀️ yet? Look no more! @mpidr.bsky.social has just the program for you: Population and Social Data Science Summer Incubator Program! Apply until Jan 8, 2025 demogr.mpg.de/go/Incubator...

EUI ranked #6 globally in political science. A truly astonishing achievement by our polisci phd researchers, postdocs and profs! Also a good time to have my first political science journal paper accepted (with @fresejoris.bsky.social @simonhix.bsky.social ) and benefit from the halo

Fulfilled my duty as a demographer and participated in the Italian census

Now the day came that I had to reject a paper because we couldn’t find a single reviewer for it (after 20+ tries). And yes, it was on an LMIC country. And that’s a pattern. How’s that for social scientists’ open-mindedness?

Happy to announce a new special issue of Advances in Life Course Research, “Networked Lives: Probing the Influence of Social Networks on the Life Course" – a great collection on how networks are shaped over and influence the life course www.sciencedirect.com/journal/adva...

The @clic.bsky.social group had our prospectus workshop. Great crowd.
