Very glad, proud, and impressed to see @rokuppers.bsky.social's important research published in Political Research Quarterly. @rokuppers.bsky.social situates his study on how ordinary people engage with the identities that populism seeks to mobilise. #polisky journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

💡 PhD student @rokuppers.bsky.social's new paper uses latent class analysis to explore a new dimension of populist politics. He challenges common assumptions that populism can be understood as the result of more traditional, regressive identities. 👉 https://buff.ly/3X2nyaW

This is our first post on Blue Sky! We will continue here as well in our mission to share the main advances in critical populism studies! @polstudiesassoc.bsky.social

Celeste Caeiro has died at the age of 91. She gave Portugal's Carnation Revolution its name by distributing free carnations to the military that overthrew the dictatorship on April 25, 1974. The red carnation became a symbol of our freedom. Rest in peace.

New blog post! I remember the faces of people staring at my ‘Department of Methodology’ hoodie. What do you even study? But here is my ode to the methodology dept. at LSE Hope this will be useful for the people thinking about grad school! open.substack.com/pub/elenapro...

People moving to Bluesky is not a structural solution to monopoly tendencies and network effects. For that you would need a real shift towards a fediverse architecture, meaning your contacts/content is platform-independent. But some differentiation in terms of platforms people use can only be good.

Just to make sure that our new generation of researchers does not get less attention than more senior scholars, I have made a starter pack with PhD researchers in Political Science go.bsky.app/MYHYycU
