Politicians in at least 51 countries used anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric during elections, NGO finds

Off to APSA in 🇨🇦 to present work with @rafaelahlskog.bsky.social and @turnbulldugarte.com on the effects of segregation on voter turnout among non-straight people of 🇸🇪. @sophiemainz.bsky.social will present our joint work on counterspeech to femonationalism in 🇩🇪. Hit me up if you are around!

📢 New Publication Alert! Our (@msaeltzer.bsky.social) latest article, "Issue congruence between candidates' Twitter communication and constituencies in an MMES: Migration as an exemplary case", has just been published in Parliamentary Affairs. academic.oup.com/pa/advance-a...

New article on Fast Track by Camilla Reuterswärd, “Policy Commitment as Voter Mobilization Strategy: Clientelist Parties, Interest Groups, and Abortion Policy in Subnational Mexico,” www.ingentaconnect.com/content/cuny...

Happy to see this paper out in the July issue of CP! Using the case of abortion policy, I argue that clientelistic parties engage in strategic, mutually beneficial interactions with influential interest groups when material exchanges no longer guarantee office.

This new publication feels extra special 🤗 It started as Kathina's master thesis, won the best thesis prize and now, 3 years later, found a wonderful home in @ejpgjournal.bsky.social. ⬇️ bristoluniversitypressdigital.com/view/journal...

This is cool!

It always feels like a great class reunion to attend the lovely ECPR Parliaments Conference @sgparliaments.bsky.social This year in - super hot - Barcelona, I presented joint work with THE one and only @martigso.bsky.social on cross-partisan co-sponsorship in parliamentary systems

Why do parties do what they do? Excited to share my 2nd dissertation paper, just published in @jeppjournal.bsky.social In the paper, I argue that parties seek internal unity and try to keep the team together: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.... 1/11 🧵

📝Why has a Bukele-style far-right party emerged in Spain—even though VOX already exists? In our new paper, @javierpadilla.bsky.social, @canalejoalvaro.bsky.social and I explain the unexpected rise of SALF ("Let the Party Be Over") in the 2024 EP elections: journals.sagepub.com/doi/epub/10.... 1/3

#Spain recently equalised #ParentalLeave, so that paternity and maternity leave are now both 16 weeks. But did fathers take advantage of the new policy? The answer is a resounding yes. #Policy design matters for #GenderEquality. @lsebr.bsky.social @cep-lse.bsky.social

I am so honored, happy, and still a bit in disbelief that my book "The Normalization of the Radical Right" has won APSA's Dahl Award and the best book prize for the Democracy and Autocracy Section. I can't thank enough everyone who has helped out with this project throughout the years.

New article out in World Politcs. We analyze how different groups react to varying programs of social democratic parties. We find less trade-offs than often assumed. Generally, more left-progressive programs increase support among social democratic potentials muse.jhu.edu/pub/1/articl...

Are more women elected in proportional elections than in majoritarian ones? @gulczynski.bsky.social, @monikaturyna.bsky.social & @jkantorowicz.bsky.social examine local Polish elections and find little evidence of that. Read OPEN ACCESS: buff.ly/UH5PdOR @polstudiesassoc.bsky.social @sagepub.com

Why are working class people under-represented in legislatures? We propose one potential mechanism: working-class individuals are *perceived* as less likely to achieve political success, and are subsequently 'pragmatically' discriminated against. We provide an experiment in the UK to test it:

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

Our Element is out! 🎉 Why do authoritarian-leaning leaders target women’s and LGBTQ+ rights? Is there a systematic pattern that reaches beyond individual country cases, and how is this reflected in people’s attitudes and societal norms? www.cambridge.org/core/element...

Familjepolitiken har stor påverkan på jämställdheten när föräldrar delar upp föräldraledigheten. Det visar en ny studie från Stockholms universitet. Allra mest jämställda avseende inkomster är mammor i samkönade par – men inte överallt.

This type or research has already been done in Germany, but so cool to see it about the Netherlands. It shows that “elevated exposure to Nazi concentration camps leads to reduced support for modern-day, far-right politics in the Netherlands” link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Traveling home energized and inspired by the brilliant work of colleagues from Europe and beyond. #EPSA is truly one of a kind: amazing crowd and great feedback! See you all at #EPSS in Belfast! 🥰

Inspiring conference — reconnected with many friends & colleagues, and met so many new ones. This last #EPSA in Madrid was a blessing, and the first EPSS Conference @epssnet.bsky.social in Belfast will be too. Looking forward to see lots of you there.

Mentally bracing for the Madrid heat ☀️ but also hyped to be part of a 🔥banging🔥 panel organized by @fraraffaelli.bsky.social, with @bertous.bsky.social as a discussant. Come see me talk about trans inclusion on Saturday or catch me downing iced coffee around #EPSA2025 in the days before 👀
