Mit fly hjem fra Oslo er udskudt to døgn men se bare hvad jeg fik en voucher til at købe 😊

En togtur fra Aarhus til Oslo varer den tid det tager at læse tre specialer, lægge sidste hånd på oppositionen til et ph.d.-forsvar samt høre to podcast. Og kan godt anbefales - god plads i toget og alt har kørt efter planen.

Ikke meget dagslys man får, når det her er udsigten fra kontoret ved ankomst hhv afgang.. @aarhusuni.bsky.social

I går på Christiansborg afholdte forskningsledelsen i Magtudredningen 2.0 møde med vores følgegruppe. Hovedemnet var en diskussion af de første bøger, der er planlagt til at udkomme i Magtudredningens bogserie. 🧵 1/3

Er @aarhusuni.bsky.social også smukt en kold næsten-vinter-morgen? Ja, tjek

A perfect day to share that our book, Policy Preparation Inside the European Commission, is coming soon with Oxford University Press! It shows why the European Commission is so vital to EU policymaking. 🇪🇺 #eusky #eursky

Forskningsstøtte fra private fonde fylder mere og mere på de danske universiteter. Det skaber muligheder for ny fantastisk forskning - men også udfordringer: www.altinget.dk/fonde/artike...

Så er der en starter pack klar med folk fra Statskundskab på @aarhusuni.bsky.social. Og bare rolig, vi har ikke allesammen korslagte arme 😊

Dejligt med alle de nye stemmer fra #dkpol! I skal da også have nogle dygtige forskere, der arbejder med magt og demokrati i Danmark i jeres feed. Derfor kommer her en starter pack fra #Magtudredningen2 - og skriv endelig, hvis du mangler på listen. go.bsky.app/LWkczbD

En af de første bøger i Magtudredningen 2.0 skal handle om demokratiets udfordringer. Dem har vi brugt de sidste tre dage på at diskutere - i omgivelser, der gav en helt særlig ro 😊

I'm very happy to share that I've received funding for a new project asking whether - and when - interest groups represent their members. I look forward to collaborate with colleagues interested in similar questions and will also recruit a postdoc for the project. Please get in touch if interested!

Så er det sidste chance for at sætte sit kryds til valget på @AarhusUni: medarbejdere.au.dk/strategi/uni.... Brug to minutter på at stemme - så bruger én af os, der stiller op, fire år på at repræsentere dig.

Talte i Deadline om forældre der forlod skolen som 14-årige, fars død da jeg er 12 og mors ulykke min interesse for ulighed og jeg skrev: “Hvorfor stiger uligheden-og hvad gør vi ved det? Vi talte om grunde til stigende ulighed og at skattereform vil hæve uligheden: www.dr.dk/drtv/se/dead...

Throwback to Thursday where @peterla.bsky.social gave a fascinating talk in Aarhus on his forthcoming book "Party Families in W. Europe". Much prominent party-voter research relies on the classification across countries of the greens, socialists etc. But do such families exist at all?

Et lille hjørne i en stor forhandling, men ikke desto mindre godt at have papir på den fulde bevilling til magtudredningen. Og så med et vindue på klem for, at der kan findes penge til den væsentlige - men også krævende - formidlingsopgave #dkpol

Never mind that we took forever handling your text - now we need a prompt reply: "We will consider the proof is approved if I haven’t heard back from you by tomorrow and finalize this at our end." #polisky

Så er der en ny episode af #dkpol at varme sig på i det dybe efterår. @jakobnielsen.bsky.social er tilbage fra Sunny California med en ny teori om partiformænd, og jeg undrer mig over et jobopslag i udenrigsministeriet. Lyt med her: www.altinget.dk/artikel/dkpo...

Et sikkert hit hos hele familien #kartoffelpizza

Der er kommet svar fra ministeren på en stribe spørgsmål om de nye kandidatuddannelser - bortset fra, at ministeren ikke svarer på spørgsmålene #dkpol

Spændende studie der viser, at kvinder er mere tilbøjelige til at forlade et universitetsjob end mænd - og oftere fordi de føler sig skubbet væk af et dårligt arbejdsklima. Amerikanske data men ret interessant, om vi har samme tendens i DK, hvor vi også har flest mænd i faste uni-stillinger #dkpol

One more apple pie to finish our “æbleferie” in style. Next week it’s back to work and probably some more professional posts here 😊

It doesn’t look like much, but this “æbleflæsk” with apples, onions and bacon is a lunch favourite. This is how it’s made in my husband’s family - in my family we would use whole pork strips instead of small pieces of bacon. Maybe this is just a Danish thing?

Where do the people in Europe who are most satisfied with democracy live? Here are the figures from the Eurobarometer 2023👇

Next up was apple pie, apples dried over the stove and as a bonus a couple of wild horses enjoying apples from the ground 🍎🐴🥮

Three tentative patterns emerged in last Sunday’s Polish elections at the regional (powiaty) level:

Next week is vacation time for Danish kids - and has been since 1899. Originally, they would help out with harvesting potatoes. In my family, we enjoy a lot of apples instead. Today, we started out with producing around 40 litres of apple juice 🍎+🍏=🧃

The Polish elections coming up this Sunday are the most important in Europe this year - perhaps even in a decade - for anyone interested in democratic stability. This thread is about the elections and the results of a survey of N5,500 Poles fielded this week up until now.

Every time I check my own or others followers, someone I’d really like to be connected to has joined the app. So far this has been a very nice experience!

Forskning er blevet vanvittig bureaukratisk i løbet af de sidste omkring 5 år. Før jeg starter et mindre projekt med interviews skal jeg: 1) Registrere projektet i universitetets system, 2) Søge om etisk godkendelse (i hvert fald hvis jeg vil publicere resultaterne i de store tidsskrifter)

I did notice the influx of Danish political scientists around September 20th, but we’re more numerous than I thought! Graph from @jaz.bsky.social polsky #dkpol

The call for sections for the next @ecpr.bsky.social General Conference is out. I’m sure Dublin is a wonderful conference location, but for most people it’s also hard to reach in a climate friendly way. Has this been a concern as the ECPR chose this location? polisky

Beautiful in all seasons. And now also in the blue skies @aarhusuni.bsky.social

Uhyggelig og nervepirrende gyser om en gruppe offentligt ansatte, der tager til konference. De har i hvert fald ikke fundet inspiration i de konferencer, jeg plejer at tage til...

Spm til #blueskyhjerne & især #dkforsk Har I et bud på, hvorfor især forskere kaster sig over BlueSky? Er det fordi X er virkeligt træls og Mastodon bare er bøvlet? Hvis et større jysk uni lader X være eX, og går all in - hvad skal vi beholde & hvad skal vi gøre anderledes? @annebind.bsky.social mfl

I'm planning interviews with Danish elites about their views on democracy and power and challenges to the Danish democracy. Does anyone know of recent work that could be relevant for this? It's a new area for me so I'm not really familiar with the literature here polisky
