📢 New publication! 📢 So happy to see this paper finally out @epsrjournal.bsky.social ! Looking at public perceptions of party positions in 29 elections across 20 European countries, I test whether populist radical parties are seen as more moderate when they are part of a government coalition. 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼

I’d especially like to encourage women to apply. We’re a fantastic department with excellent scholars, in beautiful Vienna. Data shows that women are less likely to apply for positions than equally qualified men (Muriel Niederle & Lise Vesterlund 2011), so if you’re considering it, please go for it!

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

🚨Publication Alert! My first first-author publication with @msaeltzer.bsky.social and @pluggedchris.bsky.social is out in @polbehavior.bsky.social, which began as my bachelor's thesis. We study how party polarization shapes affective polarization—with a particularly important role of the AfD. (1/7)🧵

Do policy preferences of voters and non-voters differ in European democracies? My new article in @ejprjournal.bsky.social finds: Yes, sometimes, but this is not the norm. Let's break it down. 🧵 1/10

The story of this election really is BSW and Linke. When Sahra Wagenknecht finally split off in 2023, the Linke was thought to be dead. In line with every pundit's favorite narrative, the new left-authoritarian version (BSW) would do well, while the left-progressive Linke that remained was doomed 1/

CDU verliert 1.010.000 Millionen Wählerïnnen an die AfD, die FDP verliert 890.000 Menschen an die AfD. Die Übernahme rechter Positionen führt nur dazu, dass die Leute die AfD wählen. Hoffentlich checkt die große Koalition das.

Merkel distanziert sich von Merz: „Für falsch halte ich es, sich nicht mehr an diesen Vorschlag gebunden zu fühlen und sehenden Auges erstmalig bei einer Abstimmung im Deutschen Bundestag eine Mehrheit mit den Stimmen der AfD zu ermöglichen“ www.buero-bundeskanzlerin-ad.de/erklaerungen...
