En lien avec le dossier dans La Presse+ ce matin sur la question de l’immigration au Danemark, je vous suggère la lecture de ce court texte de @kristinabsimonsen.bsky.social : ukandeu.ac.uk/denmarks-mig...

Still feeling this...

Congratulations on a well-executed and engaging viva, Andrej! 🙌🏼

Just realised I was referenced in this editorial from @financialtimes.com Grateful for the serious attention given to research on the Danish case www.ft.com/content/d165...

Spoke to @nytimes.com about the consequences of the Danish model to asylum and immigration: www.nytimes.com/2025/11/17/w...

Spoke to @financialtimes.com @reporterrwright.ft.com on the topic of the day:

Today, Shabana Mahmood will set out Labour's plans to reform the UK's asylum system, borrowing heavily from Denmark's much stricter rules This piece from @kristinabsimonsen.bsky.social outlines some of the key pitfalls in emulating this migration policy ukandeu.ac.uk/denmarks-mig...

Reminder that @ukandeu.bsky.social have, of course, published an assessment of the potential pitfalls of attempting to mimic the 'Danish approach' to immigration by @kristinabsimonsen.bsky.social ukandeu.ac.uk/denmarks-mig...

Today seems like a good day to point to @kristinabsimonsen.bsky.social’s recent piece on why (Britian) may not just ‘copy’ Danish migration policies. Political context, negative consequences and mixed public sentiments matter. ukandeu.ac.uk/denmarks-mig...

@thetimes.com also talking Danish immigration policy, including its pitfalls www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

"Ifølge @kristinabsimonsen.bsky.social er der de seneste årtier sket en desensibilisering i den offentlige debat." Om retorikken i den danske udlændingedebat. politiken.dk/danmark/poli...

@skynewsrss.bsky.social also wants to talk Danish immigration policy 🗣️

Reports suggest that the UK plans to emulate Denmark's migration system @kristinabsimonsen.bsky.social argues that "research from the country suggests that drawing lessons from the Danish migration policy should be done with caution and involves pitfalls for British politicians." 🔗 bit.ly/3LA1UI4

"However, research from the country suggests that drawing lessons from the Danish migration policy should be done with caution and involves pitfalls for British politicians." @kristinabsimonsen.bsky.social examines the much vaunted Danish immigration system

How can we understand the forces that keep political conflict alive in social life, even when its political salience has waned? In my and Anna van Vree's new working paper, we analyse 27 focus groups on immigration to show how moral boundaries make division sticky & potent: osf.io/preprints/so...

“We argue that previous moralization explains focus groups’ perception of division as persistent and insuperable” Sounds like a great paper ⬇️ Important to move beyond elite and media causes to collective sense-making. How ppl see “the other side” is sticky- it stays and spreads

Important read (2) 👇

In light of Keir Starmer's turn on immigration & debates in the UK about Denmark as an example to follow, I was invited by @ukandeu.bsky.social to reflect on what the research tells us about lessons to draw from Danish migration policy. Here's my take on the pitfalls: ukandeu.ac.uk/denmarks-mig...

"The applicability of the Danish Social Democratic strategy to the political situation in the UK is not self-evident. Rather, it serves as a warning that you cannot win over anti-immigration voters without simultaneously losing those who are pro-immigration." ukandeu.ac.uk/denmarks-mig...

Sammen med Thomas, @kristinabsimonsen.bsky.social og @panktroels.bsky.social fra Det Unge Akademi har jeg skrevet et debatindlæg i @politiken.dk om regeringens “åndelige oprustning” og de samtidige nedskæringer i den kulturelle infrastruktur. Læs med her: politiken.dk/debat/debati...

The well-studied gender gap in nascent ambition was there—but there is not a corresponding social class gap in the same data. Something else keeps workers out of office. (We have ideas—more on that soon.) Paper here: www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/epdf/10....

📣 MORAL APPEALS IN POLITICAL COMMUNICATION 📣 New version of @twidmann.bsky.social and my working paper answering: * Have moral appeals increased over time? * Is the tendency to moralize ideologically patterned? * Are some topics consistently more moralized than others? osf.io/preprints/os...
