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...

📢 Call for Papers for EPSS 2026 conference in Belfast is out: epssnet.org/belfast-2026... Starting today, we'll feature two sections each week to provide more information about the conference. 🔝 This week: Comparative Politics & International Relations

Please share this information and the call for papers in your departments, serve lists, emails etc. so it reaches especially those who aren’t using this platform! We very much hope to see as many people attend the EPSS inaugural conference in 2026 so spread the word!

Ever asked yourself how to detect and extract social groups from texts with computational social science? @haukelicht.bsky.social and me have a solution for you out at @bjpols.bsky.social. You can also find the pre-trained models on huggingface!

I wrote this as a reminder to myself that there are so many moving parts and people behind every successful outcome. We only get to see one part of that on platforms like these. So my commitment this academic year is to support others while better recognizing that whole process. #academicsky 4/n

As we enter September, you may see posts with news of jobs, promotions, grants, fellowships, and the like. That’s great! We should celebrate with colleagues, especially in an industry where rejection is the modal outcome. 1/n

Bluesky is for sure the (?) top platform for scientific chatter currently (with LinkedIn). But frankly, more engagement is needed here and transitioning from #academictwitter is part of broader fragmentation. And 🦋 is still incredibly US based, also for research. www.wired.com/story/bluesk...

This August marks the official start of my new @erc.europa.eu funded project on youth & their conceptions of political power #YOPOW 🫅🏻 & with that I can also announce the 1st postdoc joining the team: @lisaherbig.bsky.social 💫 Lisa's skill and creativity make her a true win for the project 🙌🏻

So excited to join the #YOPOW project beginning next year! Thanks to @kristinabsimonsen.bsky.social for the warm welcome and kind words. Until then, I’m focused on wrapping up my PhD with my wonderful team in Amsterdam and enjoying my last borrels, stroopwafels, and canal bike rides 🌷

EPSA have announced that they will hold a conference in July 2026. 😵‍💫 We understand that there might be some confusion about EPSS and EPSA. 👉🏽 So we thought we would clarify some things. A short 🧵

Now in an issue @psrm.bsky.social: I show that the 🇩🇰 Social Democrats could have won policy support for a pro-immigrant platform if their messaging were framed in moral terms. Findings provide a central corrective to the popular notion that the Social Democrats were destined to go anti-immigrant 👇🏻

This is such a great and important paper – especially when read alongside those two by @kristinabsimonsen.bsky.social & @twidmann.bsky.social in @psrm.bsky.social & @bjpols.bsky.social: 📄 #1 (PSRM): www.cambridge.org/core/journal... 📄 #2 (BJPS): www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

Important finding for Social Democratic parties. Danish Social Democrats – often used as an example why Social Democratic parties should adopt anti-immigrant positions for electoral success! – could have won policy support for a pro-immigrant platform if their messaging were framed in moral terms.

We each find our way through these times As an academic, I am doing this: Uplift those whose research you admire. Diversify the academy. Many ways to do this: -Nominate for awards (did 2 yesterday) -If you are in an academy, nominate to it (did 3 this month) -cite them in a paper and/or talk

Hi everyone, I'm currently researching how second-generation migrant young adults - those born in Ireland to at least one migrant parent - experience identity and belonging. I'm especially interested in what 'home' means to them and how they negotiate Irish and local identity. 1/2

A reminder that if the below describes you, please get in contact with @davetothegrave.bsky.social , or if it describes someone you know, please pass it on! (The definition of 'young adult' here has since been expanded to 18-30). #spéirghorm

Tak til de tre lektorer fra @dtu.dk og @au.dk for at forsøge at råbe Ane Halsboe-Jørgensen og regeringen op - men I skal nok ikke forvente det store. Partierne bag aftalen er jo helt klar over de urimelige konsekvenser. De er bare ligeglade. #dkpol politiken.dk/debat/debati...

Hvis man vil, at forskere skal tage ud i verden og hente viden, kompetencer og netværk med hjem til Danmark, kan man ikke samtidig straffe dem og deres børn for at gøre netop det. Debatindlæg af @januseriksen.bsky.social, Anton A. A. Autzen og mig i @politiken.dk politiken.dk/del/uO9F5DAE...

In non-lab fields, faculty typically help MA/PhD students develop solo projects that aren't part of the faculty member's research, and that the faculty won't be a coauthor on. Faculty in non-lab fields also typically increase their advising load post-tenure, limiting their own time for research. 2/

Excited to kick off #EPSA2025 on Day 1, Panel 1! 🎉 I’ll present my co-authored research with @michaelimre.bsky.social on 50 years of gender representation in political science publications. We analyze nearly 100,000 articles across 72 journals to uncover long-term trends. 🔍 @epsanet.bsky.social

Wenn Politiker einfacher sprechen, suggerieren sie damit Verbundenheit mit den Bürgern. Politikwissenschaftler Daniel Bischof erklärt, welche Vorteile das hat – und wann es problematisch sein kann.
