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

As we enter September, you may see posts with news of jobs, promotions, grants, fellowships, and the like. That’s great! We should celebrate with colleagues, especially in an industry where rejection is the modal outcome. 1/n

The Portuguese far right party CH has been growing spectacularly, shattering views of the country as immune to this phenomenon. This has prompted a discussion about where their votes come from. Some thoughts on this, prompted by newly released survey data:

Received a complimentary copy of “Foundations of European Politics” after commenting on new chapters. Such a good textbook: clear theory, empirical evidence, and free interactive data exercises. @catherinedevries.bsky.social @sarahobolt.bsky.social @sopro.bsky.social @jbslapin.bsky.social

‼️ There are a few more days left to apply for the PhD positions in my group at KU Leuven. Make sure to send in applications by July 4! 👇

I took a closer look at the program #EPSA2024 and found some interesting trends – there seem to be more US based scholars than last year 🇺🇸 @epsanet.bsky.social‬ A thread on this year's authors and affiliations 🧵

Very happy to be at the EPSA conference in Madrid and to ne about to meet so many colleagues on the programme - including the Paris folks I had missed while in Germany 😊

I love discovering academic traditions like this one in Göttingen — a handcart parade for new PhDs 😅 It was a real pleasure to read and discuss Robin Rentrop’s excellent thesis on how the youths' descriptive representation shapes their substantive representation in parliament.

Alors que la trentaine d'autrices et auteurs qui y ont contribué sont en train de corriger les épreuves de leurs chapitres, @bboudou.bsky.social et moi venons de recevoir la couverture de ce traité sobrement intitulé "Théorie Politique" - à paraître, si tout va bien, en septembre 2025!

Les promesses électorales n'engagent-elles que ceux qui les écoutent ? La délégation @cnrs-idf-villejuif.bsky.social m'a invitée à présenter mes recherches dans une petite vidéo 😊 Featuring @egrossman.bsky.social et @selmasarenkapa.bsky.social, et c'est par ici 👇 www.youtube.com/watch?v=M84O...

Ende letzter Woche gab es einige Einwände gegen diesen Post. Ich habe deshalb nochmals Befunde zu sozial- und wirtschaftspolitischen Einstellungen der AfD-Wählerschaft zusammengetragen. Ebenfalls habe ich zu diesem Thema Survey-Daten der GLES und des ALLBUS ausgewertet. Ein langer Thread.🧵

I decided to start a #thread 🧵 of stories about legal residents and tourists being (illegally) arrested, detained and/or deported by the Trump regime. I'll only post stories from serious sources, as rumors and conspiracies are really not needed in this authoritarian moment.

📢 The French Political Science Association would like to map initiatives to disseminate political science findings to a broader audience (podcasts, blogs, policy briefs...) 👀 Which ones would you recommend (in english, french or german)? (self-promotion very welcome, thanks!)

🧵 Germany is heading toward a new ⚫️🔴GroKo, and Merz and SPD are pushing through a constitutional reform that will allow €1.000 billion in new debt. What happened to the CDU’s promise of budgetary rigor? Our WP with @elisadeisshelbig.bsky.social sheds light on this. Let’s talk coalition politics.👇

Too many political parties do exactly that: treating public opinion as fixed. To a large extent Trump and other far right actors do the exact opposite: they create realities and force it on the public. We need democratic parties to turn to public opinion leaders creating realities!

Well that is alarming. Far-right is surpassing support they had during WWII while at the same time center-left and center-right have been as weak.

Discussions are growing about the possibility that Emmanuel Macron could use his full powers to pass the budget. This would be an abusive interpretation of the constitution.

The French Parliament has just brought down Michel Barnier’s government via a vote of no confidence – a first since 1962. A 🧵 on what is happening, what to expect next - and how the far right is capitalizing on the crisis.

Very happy to see that our paper with @egrossman.bsky.social is now available in early view at @cpsjournal.bsky.social 👇

How do you assess your students in seminars? Diversifying exercises from the classic oral presentations, response memos on readings and research essays would be nice. I heared of colleagues demanding podcasts, policy briefs or even creative writing pieces. I would be very curious about what YOU do!

👋 Hello bluesky & polisky! We are the Department of Political Science at the University of Zurich. Follow us for updates on our work.

I still hear the following statement frequently: "I won't apply. I won't stand a chance." This is not a useful approach to the job market. I literally know nobody who can say with certainty that they will get THE job. If you do not apply, you will not get the job - that's certain. Please apply!

Hello Polisky Women in Legislative Politics! Let us know your news so we can promote your publications, awards, and other accomplishments: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...
