📣 Calling all future postdocs 📣 @iast.fr is hiring! This is an incredible opportunity. I couldn't have imagined a better place for my postdoc. The community is fantastic, full autonomy and great resources. Located between the Pyrenees, the Mediterranean, & the Atlantic. Anything more I need to say?

As I am fairly new to Bluesky, this comes a bit late, but it is still worth checking out: Our #oa introduction to the @jeppjournal.bsky.social special issue on "Europe’s Changing Protest Landscape" with @sophiahunger.bsky.social www.tandfonline.com/toc/rjpp20/3...

Given broad interest we gave our best to speed up the translation of our study of self-censorship and perceptions of academic freedom infringements in Germany since 7 October 2023! An english version of our report and codebook are now available on our website: interact.fu-berlin.de/en/News/Grim...

Out now @socmovstudies.bsky.social: we introduce the concept of a "protest script" & demonstrate how video-enhanced protest event analysis (vPEA) helps trace a common script of the Italian and German anti-containment protests. doi.org/10.1080/1474...

Taking a closer look at @mierkezat.bsky.social @swenhutter.bsky.social & @eborbath.bsky.social's paper on cleavage formation and civil society and cannot recommend it highly enough! Really insightful theorizing, e.g. on changes in the form of civil society and its effect on group-party linkages:
