🚨New publication! Thrilled to finally see this paper out in @psrm.bsky.social 🎉 📊I study how gender shapes coalition preferences among politicians. Turns out mayors prefer forming governments with women-led parties, perceiving them as better communicators and more competent governors.

🎉 Really happy to see my first single-authored article published in @politicalgeography.bsky.social ! It analyses how inequalities in access to basic services (healthcare, education, roads, and internet coverage) affect levels of rural resentment 👇 [1/5] www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

There is growing interest in HPE about social conflict in the run-up to the French Revolution. In a new article at Data & Corpus, I describe the Jean Nicolas Database, a database of 8,516 rebellions in France (1661-1789) 👉Article: doi.org/10.46298/dc.... 👉Database: doi.org/10.7910/DVN/... 🧵1/6

🎉🚨 Super happy to see our article “Burdens and Gains. The Association Between House Rent Increases and Voting in the City of Madrid” (w/ Marcos-Marne) now out in @electoralstudies.bsky.social. We examine how rising rental prices in Madrid are linked to voting. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

🥳 Really happy to share that I have been selected by the Centro de Estudios Políticos y Constitucionales (@cepcgob.bsky.social) to join as a García-Pelayo Researcher. I am very much looking forward to beginning this new stage!

🎓🎓 New doctor in town! Thrilled to have defended my PhD today. Big thanks to @priera.bsky.social, @turnbulldugarte.com, and Carolina Plaza for making it such a kind and lively discussion.

Who does Spiderman vote for? Who you vote for. In a new paper w/ @markuswagner.bsky.social we show that people engage in motivated projection of political identities. In the absence of explicit info on politics, individuals rely on valence to infer the politics of others doi.org/10.1017/psrm...

Starting 2025 with ice, fog and lots of energy 💪🏼

A commonly held notion is that Germany's far-right party AfD is especially successful in the country's more rural areas. However, a look at the party's election results in over 10,000 municipalities suggests that the link between rurality and AfD support is rather diffuse. A simple thread. 🧵👇

Research in Madrid is especially wonderful at Christmas ❄️

New paper published @ajpseditor.bsky.social Showing that reduced access to public services fuelled far right support in 🇮🇹 Existing work on far right highlights globalization & migration grievances, what about people’s experiences with the state? We use 🇮🇹 reform to find out shorturl.at/zQ8bJ

🚨 The second round for #PAPERSS Seminars is here! 🥊 Early-career researchers in political science, sociology, and applied economics are invited to submit proposals for the Spring series by January 1st, 2025, through our online portal ⬇️. Let’s keep the momentum going! 📚✨

New article accepted at CPS. @denis-cohen.bsky.social @thmskrr.bsky.social and I analyze how rental market risk affects radical right support. Combining data on local rent increases with the SOEP, we find that individuals facing increasing local rents become more likely to support the AfD. 🧵

So happy to share an article co-written with @joaoc.bsky.social now out in Political Geography, a journal I always liked a lot. It's called "Political neglect and support for the radical right: The case of rural Portugal". It's open access. I hope you like it. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Happy to present for the first time my working paper on occupations and electoral behaviour with a focus on farmers. Many thanks to ICCA for the organisation and to all colleagues for their comments - they have been a great help to me!

Farmers are protesting in Westminster, what might the political consequences be? Our research on farmer protests in 🇳🇱 provides some clues. osf.io/preprints/os... Bottom line: due to popularity of farmers + media bias, this likely creates major political headache for Starmer government. 🧵

Blog alert 🚨! A few weeks ago I talked with Luca Manucci for his blog (@populismblog.bsky.social) about our last article in EJPR. In this interview we discussed depopulation, rural resentment and electoral behaviour in Spain. Thank you Luca, it was a pleasure! populismobserver.com/2024/11/04/i...

New interview 🔥 @asanchezgarcia.bsky.social explains the complex interplay between depopulation, political polarization, and voting behaviour in rural Spain... populismobserver.com/2024/11/04/i...

I take this opportunity today to make my debut in Bluesky by sharing my latest article with @tonirodon.bsky.social and Maria on a very special day. A few months ago we published "Where has everyone gone? Depopulation and voting behaviour" in EJPR. ejpr.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....
