Thank you to everyone who came to my keynote at #CADAAD this year! The feedback has been really lovely, and I'm so grateful to have been invited to talk to so many excellent colleagues. The quality of papers this year was phenomenal -- I'm so lucky to be part of such a great community

BTW: The panel was also a great occasion for @stavrosling.bsky.social @carmen-lee.bsky.social & Theresa Catalano to present their forthcoming ‘Bloomsbury Handbook of Harmful Discourse’ with many fab contributions including by yrs truly @mkrzyzanowski.bsky.social ;) #CADAAD2026 @cadaad.bsky.social

Both presentations finished now - coming away with lots of ideas for where I can take this data, which is always what you hope for when presenting work in progress! #CADAAD2026 provides an amazing audience as always.

We had to wait until the last day for our panel on ways to analyse emotions among supporters and opponents on populist social media - but it was well worth the wait! Great audience (thanks for valuable input!) and great conference in beautiful (but hot) Valladolid. #cadaad2026

#cadaad2026 The place where I stand today @cadaad2026.bsky.social has been reached by countless others before me, and many more will follow. I leave feeling like a single drop in an immense ocean of knowledge, yet perhaps even a drop can catch and reflect the sunlight ☀️

@cadaad2026.bsky.social you were a real one. Amazing hosts, stimulating presentations, meaningful conversations, bad dancing, 100s of ideas crackling through the air. #cadaad2026

What do we think? Who'd buy a cadaad t-shirt?

That's a wrap on @cadaad2026.bsky.social. A wonderful conference, superbly organised by @laurafilardollamas.bsky.social 👏!! We hope you all go back home with heads full of reflections, new ideas and questions. See you in 2 years in... #cadaad2026

@chrishartlinguist.bsky.social is cracking on at #cadaad2026 day 3 with an eloquently delivered plenary talk on the multimodal performances of rightwing populism (despite the slightly hoarse voice because of conference dinner fun) @cadaad2026.bsky.social

Corvinus at #CADAAD2026! Happy to attend this year’s conference with some of my students. The discourse was excellent, and so were the discussions.
