Please share!: Last week to apply for @epssnet.bsky.social Belfast 2026 really good news is that there's been an amazing response to the call for papers already; now very excited for this meeting ⬇️ We put together a quick FAQ on Qs that have come up on submitting: epssnet.org/conferences/...

New paper with @mhamjediers.bsky.social German judges have discretion to apply rehabilitative juvenile criminal law (Jugendstrafrecht) or punitive adult criminal law to 18–20-year-old offenders. We show that immigrant youths are ~10 percentage points less likely to be sentenced under juvenile law

Radical right accommodation really does not work. New paper out with this exceptionally talented team @katharinalawall.bsky.social @robjohns75.bsky.social @drjennings.bsky.social @sarahobolt.bsky.social @zachdickson.bsky.social @danjdevine.bsky.social & @jack-bailey.co.uk doi.org/10.31235/osf...

Great summary of our study with @arolsenarchives.bsky.social and its message: “For ordinary citizens, the takeaway is clear: Don’t just read about history—help preserve it. Your contribution creates ripples […] potentially helping to build stronger, more inclusive societies.” shorturl.at/Urozd

Fascinating read. (And makes me even happier about the recent launch of Theory and Social Inquiry as non-profit and open access...)
