Back in 🇸🇪 after a month of train traveling through Europe. 🚞 Long-distance #traintravel requires combing purposes. #Slowtravel gave me time for a real holiday, focused writing, and even a few work meetings on my way home. Productive, inspiring, enjoyable and relaxing - all at once!

If you are attending Stockholm Pride this year (and speak Swedish), come and see this panel on the growing polarization around LGBTQ+ rights, featuring a great lineup, including myself. :) program.stockholmpride.org/sv/events/29...

🧵1/ Are primaries bad for political diversity? Conventional wisdom says yes—but our article in @wepsocial.bsky.social shows that candidate selection modes are not necessarily a bottleneck for representation, at least when it comes to demand. 🗳️👥 @sandrahkansson.bsky.social doi.org/10.1080/0140...

I can highly recommend reading Saskia Brechenmacher's comprehensive and insightful @carnegieendowment.org report on "The New Global Struggle Over Gender, Rights, and Family Values". carnegieendowment.org/research/202...

Based on insights from our report “Countering anti-democratic masculinities: State of the art of evidence-based interventions” – which presents a systematic review of strategies aimed at addressing anti-democratic masculinities – here’s what works when it comes to effective interventions.

MEN4DEM publishes a scientific review of intervention strategies for more democratic masculinities. Read the report at www.men4dem.eu/news-events-...

Sommarlyssning till tågresan eller hängmattan? I det här avsnittet av Begreppsbiblioteket får jag grotta ner mig i ett av mina favoritbegrepp: institution. Vad är egentligen en institution? Och varför är det ett så viktigt begrepp om man vill förstå makt, motstånd och förändring?

My trip back from #epsa2025 by #train was a joy. 4k km, well-functioning AC (needed in the heat). Amazed at the amazing public transport network Europe offers. Door to door, just public transport. #sustainabletravel #climatechange @epssnet.bsky.social

(Q) Why is MEN4DEM important? Online spaces are where many young men build identity and ideology. Researching these spaces is crucial for understanding democracy today — and for opening up more inclusive ways of being a boy or a man. @UppsalaUniversity #MEN4DEM

MEN4DEM is learning about artistic interventions!

(Q) Why is MEN4DEM important? MEN4DEM is important because it challenges simplistic, polarising narratives around masculinity and democracy. It’s not about us versus them—it’s always been about all of us, together. @gesis.org #MEN4DEM

With the help of Uppsala University Innovation, we have started a company to turn our research results into practice! www.uu.se/en/news/2025...
