Still confused about EPSA vs. EPSS? Which conference should you go to? Here is a link to clarify things: epssnet.org/uncategorize... TL;DR: "EPSA" community will be in Belfast. Same community, new organisation, bigger mission; slightly new name; and a very different foundation @epssnet.bsky.social

On the morning of Keir Starmer's conference speech here's a new post on an odd psychopathology in British politics - our main parties don't like the people who vote for them - the dreaded Professional Managerial Class. And so they are acting out like a divorced dad seeking cooler voters. 1/n

I'll have more to say on Reform's proposals to scrap ILR at some point but for now I'll just note this - anyone telling you this is a popular idea doesn't know the polling. Overwhelming majority of public back giving people who work and pay taxes most or all rights after 5 years or less

If you work on Electoral + Voting Behaviour, submit your work to this great section at the EPSS conference in Belfast. epssnet.org/belfast-2026...

🚨 Reminder: EuroWEPS-🇮🇹 applications are due 30 September 👇

Just a reminder that Starmer's accommodation of the radical right has not paid any electoral dividends to date. It's difficult to imagine circumstances in which it would...

I am deeply saddened by the sudden passing of our dear LSE colleague, Professor Conor Gearty He was a remarkable person: a brilliant human rights scholar, passionate public intellectual, and a wonderful man. Always warm, witty, generous and curious, with a radiant smile We will miss him terribly

Ooh we've opened our call for small research grants. £10k for any humanities or social sciences research. Open to independent scholars. We use partial randomisation to allocate the funding: random allocation between all that meet the quality threshold www.thebritishacademy.ac.uk/funding/ba-l...

We have a paper on how Labour's strategy is disastrous. There's an exclusive coverage in @newstatesman.com www.newstatesman.com/politics/202...

I am proud to be part of this project - led by the brilliant @turnbulldugarte.com - which has an important take-away for mainstream left parties We show that when Labour adopts exclusionary rhetoric on immigration, it can backfire: core supporters feel alienated and Reform UK gains legitimacy
