I'm super happy & proud to be able to work with this rock star group of a team (and academic guests)! 🧠🧠🧠💫🙏 @goetheuni.bsky.social @infer-frankfurt.bsky.social - and it's really nice to check out parts of Frankfurt that I hadn't been to as part of our team event

I am looking for a PhD student in Comparative Politics @powimz.bsky.social. My research focuses on political (in-)equality, representation, and responsiveness. I would be grateful if you could help to spread the word. stellenboerse.uni-mainz.de#/jgu/job/49637

I'm delighted to see this article out in @govandopp.bsky.social! Jonas Wenker and I show that losing an election has a far stronger negative effect on populist voters than on non-populist ones. For populists, losing signals that the system is broken. 1/5 www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

I'm hiring another postdoc (research-focused, for almost 5 years) for my @erc.europa.eu project on the educational cleavage! I'm looking for someone with strong quantitative text-analysis skills (e.g. #NLP, #LLM, etc.) to study the role of political actors in cleavage formation.

I am so honored, happy, and still a bit in disbelief that my book "The Normalization of the Radical Right" has won APSA's Dahl Award and the best book prize for the Democracy and Autocracy Section. I can't thank enough everyone who has helped out with this project throughout the years.

I have a new paper out in @wepsocial.bsky.social: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.... The paper situates discussions about the Educational Cleavage in a longer temporal context (back to the Medieval time) to show that there have ALWAYS been conflicts between educational groups. (1/3)

New paper in @prxjournal.bsky.social We conducted 4 experiments in Germany to examine how voters respond when opposition parties choose conflict or cooperation with the government. Findings: Cooperation tends to win more support 🔗 doi.org/10.1080/2474... #polisky

Education is king in today's societies - socially, economically, & politically. @garritzmannj.bsky.social shows how conflict between educational groups transformed multiple times since the Middle Ages. doi.org/10.1080/0140... Part of the SI "Cleavage Politics in Western Democracies"

Wie sollten Medien mit einer Partei wie der AfD umgehen? Darüber wird seit Jahren intensiv diskutiert. Immer wieder fällt dabei der Blick nach Wallonien – doch taugt das belgische Beispiel überhaupt als Vorbild? Darüber habe ich mit @uebermedien.de gesprochen. 👇

🧵 Do radical parties receive fewer ministries? I investigated this fundamental question in my first single-authored article which is now online in @cpsjournal.bsky.social. Find out here 👇

Check out @timo-sprang.net's first single-authored paper, out now in @cpsjournal.bsky.social! Radical Weakness—Do Radical Parties Receive Fewer Ministries? He argues & shows empirically that radical parties systematically receive fewer ministries journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/... Congrats Timo!!

I know y'all just want to watch the #ESC in peace, but 📢 :The Spring 2025 update to the Eclectic, Erratic Bibliography on the Extreme Right is out! 180 new titles added, making it the second-largest update ever. Radical right research is growing fast. Like the #RadicalRight ☹️ #PoliticalScience

Shock, but no surprise. The only unexpected thing about this is the timing #farright #radicalright #Germany

This is super exciting!

I AM HIRING 2 postdocs (5 years) in my @erc.europa.eu project "The Politics of the Latent Educational Cleavage" at @goetheuni.bsky.social @infer-frankfurt.bsky.social! German call: www.fb03.uni-frankfurt.de/170856927.pdf English call: www.goethe-university-frankfurt.de/170858269.pdf Please share

Very proud to have contributed with @larboe.bsky.social @pspolisci.bsky.social symposium about populism and democracy. We focus on the impact of populist parties when in opposition, because most research concentrates on these parties in power www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

Please spread the word! 👇 We are happy to announce that the next conference of the political economy section of the German Political Science association will take place @uni-mainz in September 2025. Join us to discuss "Political Economy Transformation in Hard Times" Submission deadline February 15

As debates about "the perils of presidentialism" resurface while watching the US, South Korea, and France, an intriguing alternative deserves more attention: semi-parliamentarism. @ganghof.bsky.social shows that this form of govt blends the strengths of parliamentary and presidential systems polisky

South Korean citizens helped lawmakers scale the National Assembly walls so they could bypass military barricades and vote against martial law.

190 present, 190 voted to DEMAND END TO MARTIAL LAW DECLARATION

Deeply honored that I was awarded an ERC grant "The Politics of the Latent Educational Cleavage“ (POLEDUC)! Thanks a lot to the #ERCCoG, as well as to the panelists & reviewers for their time, constructive feedback, & for a pleasant intellectual discussion! erc.europa.eu/news-events/...

This was great! Thanks, ‪@garritzmannj.bsky.social, for organizing this roundtable and inviting me! The key point of my introductory remarks in one slide: Standard retrospective voting seems sufficient to explain why Harris lost. (She even outperformed the prediction based on incumbent approval.)

Why did Trump win? How well did we predict the MAGA landslide? What to expect from President Trump 2.0? Join us for this virtual roundtable with Herbert Kitschelt, Sigrid Roßteutscher, Mary Stegmaier, & Nils Steiner!

Just to make sure that our new generation of researchers does not get less attention than more senior scholars, I have made a starter pack with PhD researchers in Political Science go.bsky.app/MYHYycU
