Really pleased to see "Party brands, issue salience, and electoral volatility" published at @jeppjournal.bsky.social . I argue that if electoral volatility increases as parties become more similar, that logic applies to both positional and salience differences. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Today, feeling close to cosmopolitans or feminists separates voters of the left from right voters who identify with people who are down to earth and hard working. Yet, these identities do have structural roots, just like class identities did. Our short CUP book on cleavage formation is out in OA.

Our department is hiring PhD students! A great program within a great academic community. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions about PhD life in Gothenburg. www.gu.se/en/political...

Thrilled that the final paper of my dissertation is now open access at Electoral Studies. In the article, I argue that party brands structure the efficacy of blurred appeal strategies based on how much a strategy signals potential brand deviation. doi.org/10.1016/j.el...

Devin Case-Ruchala (free of social media) has designated me as the hype person for their new paper at RIPE: doi.org/10.1080/0969.... Devin is a phenomenal scholar, a brilliant researcher, and a great friend. I cannot recommend their work highly enough to anyone interested in public banks and IPE.

New PhD positions open in Gothenburg! It's an incredibly supportive and smart environment to be in as a PhD student. Consider applying or telling your students to apply (that's how I mustered the confidence to apply for a PhD).
