We need to study the turn in public support for VOX (plurality pref. among spanish young) from normal to something ‘cool’ & ‘edgy’. Support for VOX is worn, often *literally* on wrists, as a badge of honour that signals, like a Michael Kors watch, as a symbol of being part of the trendy club

We have just published the call for the Nuffield Postdoctoral Prize Research Fellowships in Politics. These are 3-year fully-funded postdocs that will allow you to focus on your research in a great academic environment. (And with excellent food) www.nuffield.ox.ac.uk/the-college/...

Lesbian and gay party leaders receive lower leadership evaluations than straight leaders in the UK, and the effects are consistent across genders. Interesting yet discouraging findings in our BJPS paper. @josephfcozza.bsky.social @gdilandro.bsky.social Andrea Aldrich @utgovernment.bsky.social

Very excited about this today.

Thinking about this Mary Oliver poem this morning. Don't hesitate.

🗳️ Extremadura se convierte en el primer laboratorio electoral de un gobierno PP–Vox. En mi artículo semanal de Simple Política analizo el adelanto electoral como una prueba sobre los efectos políticos de la normalización de la extrema derecha. www.simplepolitica.com/adelanto-ele...

Anti-LGBTQ resolutions aka "LGBT-free zones" in Poland have increased residents’ intentions to migrate, both within the country and abroad. Together with @paweladrjan.bsky.social, we use unique data on all clicks on the global job site Indeed. Link: docs.iza.org/dp18217.pdf Main findings ⬇️ 1/7

Please spread the word word 👇

An inconvenient truth. @turnbulldugarte.com and @emiliabelknap.bsky.social puncture a pervasive myth. ‬ "Among young respondents aged 18-25, a very comfortable majority of women reject Reform UK (75%), and a similarly large majority of men in the same age group share the same view (71%)."

As social scientists, it is our responsibility to scrutinize popular media commentaries. According to this analysis, the claim that young men’s support for the far-right in the UK is strong needs to be tempered. Based on our own analysis, the same observation appears to apply to the Spanish case.👇

Happy, alongside @emiliabelknap.bsky.social, to make my debut contribution with the fantastic folks at @ukandeu.bsky.social Emilia & I use data from @britishelectionstudy.com to correct the atomistic fallacy in people's understanding the Reform UK gender gap ukandeu.ac.uk/most-british...

This is a really exciting review article about the measurement and use of sexism in political science research. Excited to see it out! (full disclosure, I was a reviewer)

New publication on immigrant attitudes toward immigration in 🇫🇷 We find that European origin immigrants attitudes converge with natives over time, while African and other non-European minorities -who are more discriminated against- stay pro-immigration. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Paths to Power (PtP) is out in @bjpols.bsky.social! It is a database with data on cabinet members' social profile globally from 1966-2021. This is a great team effort with @chknutsen.bsky.social, @peterla.bsky.social, @inalkristiansen.bsky.social. But many more helped us along the way 🙏 A short 🧵

Although not yet available to read (January 2026!), very happy to see our book on political trust online. Co-edited with @mfair.bsky.social and available open access, we think it'll be a useful addition to the field. www.e-elgar.com/shop/gbp/a-r...

Come for the exceptionally good title game, stay for the partisan experiment 🧙‍♀️

Nano-targeting is not a persuasive weapon: it is a dissuasion and polarization weapon. New paper out osf.io/preprints/so... with the brilliant Thomas Robinson, @simonhix.bsky.social and @fresejoris.bsky.social – the first to quantify the perverse incentives/inherent democratic dangers of this tech.

📄Is there public support for tariffs in Europe -- as a protectionist measure, a tool of retaliation, or a way to fund the green transition? Our timely conjoint experiment, fielded in two core European constituencies 🇩🇪 🇬🇧, shows no public appetite for tariffs in Europe. doi.org/10.1080/1350...

Looking for a citation. Are there any papers that systematically assess policy responsiveness disparities based on age groups generally or pension eligibility specifically?

🚨New paper out at Journal of European Public Policy: Do Europeans want tariffs? No! Our conjoint experiments show that the mass public does not support tariffs, no matter how they are framed. Full paper below ⬇️ It was great to work on such a timely piece with a stellar team of co-authors ✨

The call for papers for the first ever EPSS conference 2026 in Belfast is open until November 7th 2025. epssnet.org/belfast-2026/ @rdassonneville.bsky.social and I will be chairing the section on Electoral and Voting Behavior. We look forward to your submissions and to a fantastic conference!

How does sexual harassment shape women’s academic careers? At today’s #BellaterraAppliedSeminar, @johannarickne.bsky.social kicks off the series with a fascinating analysis revealing how toxic environments hinder women’s progress and distort meritocracy. @bsebarcelona.bsky.social #GenderEconomics

Tariffs might be the word of 2025. Given the state of *looks around* we asked: is there demand for tariffs in Europe? @grahn.bsky.social @katharinalawall.bsky.social @sophiemainz.bsky.social Maria Nordbrandt & I show the answer is a resolute no @jeppjournal.bsky.social doi.org/10.1080/1350...

The Spanish centre-right is taking a tumble and the far-right is on the rise. I was lucky enough to present some new causal work on Friday at LSE showing that the PP does better when it signals distinctiveness from VOX. ~1.5K tests, same result. Rejecting far-right benefits centre-right

New SI "Cleavage Politics in Western Democracies" @wepsocial.bsky.social! If you're interested in transforming social & political divides in advanced democracies, this is for you. The intro by @davidattewell6.bsky.social & me maps contributions around 3 challenges for contemp. cleavage research.

Nice chart from @ourworldindata.org showing the contrast between what Americans die of (heart disease and cancer) v what the US media reports on (homicide and terrorism). This naturally leads to it being trickier to build a fact based world view ourworldindata.org/does-the-new...

Today I woke up thinking about this highlight of my life.

Dagmar Herzog define el ‘fascismo posmoderno’: libidinal, deconstruccionista y cruel. La ultraderecha erotiza el racismo, desprecia discapacidad y premia dañar. Batalla afectiva: ¿cómo mover el deseo hacia comunidad, cuidado y democracia?

When writing this we did it with the hope that it wouldn't remain an ever-green comment on the state of the Labour Party. For a brief moment during Starmer's conference speech I became more hopeful. As Starmer talks about Labour's latest radical right policy today, I've corrected myself.

Happy to publish today in the @ejprjournal.bsky.social Pop culture (think Netflix's Sex Education) make us think that emerging cohorts are happy to socially incorporate partners with sexually modern backgrounds and experiences 🏳️‍🌈 But is this really the case? doi.org/10.1017/S147...

Why do we see far fewer bisexual men than bi women in surveys? One possible reason is the added prejudice bi men face in the dating market. Check out this paper by Stu!

🚨 New publication out @jeppjournal.bsky.social w/ Katrin Praprotnik @luanarusso.bsky.social @markuswagner.bsky.social We show that coalition signals from the mainstream right to the radical right shift, rather than reduce, existing political divisions. Open-access article: doi.org/10.1080/1350...
