It is a pleasure to be a keynote speaker at the DRAINE international conference on emotions and hate speech in Grenoble! Some of my colleagues from our ARENAS project were also present from Università degli Studi di Genova, CNRS and CY Cergy Paris University

The 24th Annual Aleksanteri Conference, which this year addresses the pressing challenges of extremism in a world shaped by prolonged and overlapping crises. JOIN US!!!! New extended deadline for submitting proposals: Friday,16 May 2025! www.helsinki.fi/en/conferenc...

Local elections in #Finland reward opposition SocDems #SDP & even agrarian #Kesk but mark a blow to far-right #PerusS for draconian finance policies in government w/h conservative #Kok while #Sfp #Rkp barely manages to hang on (it lost its seat in country’s capital) #kommunalvalet #kuntavaalit

Local elections in #Finland #Suomi w/h 50% votes counted seem to indicate a downward correction for #Orpo conservative #Kok #Saml & a significant loss for main coalition partner radical right populist #PerusS #Sannf #svenskayle
