Republican Members of Congress are no longer coming from elite institutions of higher education. Elite-educated legislators are more liberal. Important manifestation of the education divide between the parties & context for the current higher ed wars www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

Alan Wiseman talks about a new Perspectives article (co-authored w/ Craig Volden & Jonathan Wai; available here: www.cambridge.org/core/journal...) in The Smerconish podcast yesterday.

"Boundaries of #Queerness" has gotten its first review! Thanks Douglas Page and @poppublicsphere.bsky.social for the considerate and thorough engagement with the book. Particularly pleased to be in the excellent company of @kslootmaeckers.bsky.social and @christopherewing.bsky.social 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Taken together, we argue that emotionally charged, easily digestible videos help populist autocrats tell a compelling story that turns past glories and threats into a basis for regime legitimation. Special thanks to Didem Seyis and Ezgi Şiir Kıbrıs for outstanding research assistance!

My article "Film-Making the Nation Great Again" with @liselhintz.bsky.social is out now in @poppublicsphere.bsky.social! doi.org/10.1017/S153... We show how Turkey’s ruling party instrumentalizes history through emotionally evocative videos to legitimize the authoritarian incumbent 🧵

My article "Film-Making the Nation Great Again" with @draege.bsky.social is out in Perspectives! Poli sci work on authoritarianism and populism largely overlooks audiovisual strategies. Our multi-modal study uses a new dataset of 11,000+ regime YouTube videos in Turkey. doi.org/10.1017/S153...

Lot of focus on how governments regulate digital services -- privacy/content/IP. But firms often play bigger role. New w/@gbeaumier.bsky.social @poppublicsphere.bsky.social we show how private regulation not only impacts public policy but expands platform power. www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

#OpenAccess from @poppublicsphere.bsky.social - The Symbolic Politics of Status in the MAGA Movement - cup.org/3HDkxJO "reclaiming lost status means seeking public affirmation for identities they feel have been unfairly denigrated" - Biko Koenig & Tali Mendelberg #FirstView #MAGA

This looks interesting but it also makes me thinkmore about how "college degree" has somehow become the same as "ivy league degree" (not an argument the authors make here but a general popular conception)

Out today in @poppublicsphere.bsky.social Emigration from closed autocracies is often thought to serve as a safety valve and improve stability. I show that it can also backfire and create more demand for emigration, thus raising popular pressure on the regime. doi.org/10.1017/S153...
