Hey academic people, what's the best place to buy (used) academic books online these days? (Shipping to EU)

Today we had @franziskaveit.bsky.social presenting her work in our department, marking the end of her visiting stay with us. Thanks for an excellent presentation that sparked a very pleasant discussion!

Excited to be visiting the University of Milan for the upcoming weeks to continue my research on the intergenerational transmission of economic insecurity & how it affects political behavior. Thanks @mathildevanditmars.eu for hosting me! If you're around Milan while I’m here feel free to reach out!

Exciting news to share 💃 I’ve won a Starting Grant from the Italian Science Foundation (FIS) and will start a TT position at the University of Milan! INTERGEN studies how structural inequalities shape generational political change and representation in ageing democracies. Feeling so grateful! ✨

New Publication with @lhaffert.bsky.social in @ejprjournal.bsky.social! We study the role of generations in the urban-rural divide, which is increasingly shaping the politics of many democracies. Studying Switzerland, we show: The urban-rural divide is stronger among younger generations. (1/10) 🧵👇

New article out in @cpsjournal.bsky.social with Tabea Palmtag and @dpzollinger.bsky.social 📝 We use open-ended survey questions (in Germany) to assess how and among whom social status shifts are perceived. This tests cultural backlash narratives in voters' perceptions. 🔗 doi.org/10.1177/0010...

Next week, with the Progressive Politics Research Network, we are going to publish 8 new research briefs on the politics of housing. While housing has become a huge grievance across Europe, it is often absent from progressive parties‘ agendas. Our group of experts discusses different aspects of this

Gen-AI breaks everything, survey research edition.

Mind-boggling that we've ended up here

OMG, this means a crazy (Northern-)Irish conference season?! ECSR (Dublin, 15-17 June) - CES (Dublin, 16-18 June) - EPSS (Belfast, 18-20). Who coordinated this?!

And the award for best conference tote goes to....

I sometimes wonder what I could have done with all that time in which I've been waiting for Trenitalia to announce the platform of my train. A couple of reviews, surely?

En route for #ECPRgc25. So excited to see ‘my people’ again. Looking forward to lots of fruitful discussions. If you would like to talk to me about your research or academia as PhD researcher or ECR, don’t hesitate to reach out.

Class-based gaps in voter turnout and political representation in Britain are likely to widen further. Our study, with Nan Dirk de Graaf and Geoff Evans (@nuffieldcollege.bsky.social), reveals how social mobility creates a cycle that reinforces democratic inequalities. 🗳️🪜

Balance of my final day of teaching for this term: - taught class with bird poo in my hair 💩 - at the end of the class got flowers from my students 😍

Croatia is officially joining the EUI! 🎉 Today, the EUI's High Council voted unanimously to approve Croatia’s accession as the 24th member of the EUI. ✅🤝 This milestone further strengthens the EUI’s mission of fostering academic excellence and #EuropeanIntegration through #research and #education.

I am incredibly proud that my book, co-authored with Andrea Aldrich, is published. Using an original party leadership dataset from 11 parliamentary democracies, Andrea and I show that women candidates face a glass ceiling for leadership and quickly sink once elected (the quicksand theory).

📣 Political communication scholars: I need your recommendations ! 🌎 Good textbook (accessible to 2nd year BA students) covering the main *Media & Politics* theories and concepts, ideally with a European focus? 🤡 This is remarkably hard to find, or I might be looking in the wrong places...!?

If you happen to have capacity for an extra first-time attendee do drop me a DM. :)

So everyone in my network has been already reposting this, and with good reason! Incredibly insightful and helpful.

Dutch elections likely October 29 🗳️🇳🇱 Why only almost 5 months from today? 1. Dutch regulations allow for new parties still to register 2. Dutch abroad voters have a 75 day time period 3. 75 days are felt as too little for organising and staffing 4. Dutch parties take time to organise party lists

Kunnen we de duur inkorten voordat na de val van een kabinet verkiezingen worden gehouden? stukroodvlees.nl/waarom-duurt... Ja, maar niet kostenloos: 1 Minder rekening houden met nieuwe partijen die zich nog willen inschrijven 2 Minder rekening houden met kiezers uit buitenland 3 Meer ondersteuning

🥳We got page nrs! 🤓In this CPS article, Rosie Shorrocks and I test mechanisms that according to modernization theory can explain modern gender gaps. 🧐Our results imply that women with different political views select into different life trajectories - in education, work, out of marriage. #polisci

Here we go again, this is such a pervasive myth. It is not true, not for the PvdA and not for many other social democratic parties. On this topic there is so much reseach. I highly recommend the following reads in English and Dutch ….

Finding this fascinating!!

Living our best life at the @ecpr.bsky.social Joint Sessions in the Gender & Generations panel. Great papers, (women) scholars, stimulating discussions and good food!

From Bluesky to the Guardian! In my new op-Ed, I argue that the “male glaze” of media and politics is empirically, normative, and politically wrong and that progressives should focus more on the left turn of young women.

Sooooo who's going to the Joint Sessions next week? Also: please send food recs for Prague!

Adding to the pre-existing intrigue..
