Hello APSA-goers, @alonsoroman.bsky.social and I are presenting work on far-right success and hostility against minorities today at 10:00 in the panel "The Sources and Consequences of Anti-Democratic Attitudes in Diverse Societies". Pass by if you can!

In a working paper with @alonsoroman.bsky.social and @lucabellodi.bsky.social, we show that older political leaders are associated with less satisfaction with democracy. People care about the representative implications of ageing leadership.
