It’s been a wild day. I intended to stay away from the news, but between Kimmel’s (supposed) return and the Tylenol batshittery, it was hard to do. Cowboy’s expression sums it up. #corgisky

I am really happy to announce the second paper from my PhD is now out! The article employs a comparative analysis between US and Turkish based far-right groups, analyzing how constructions of power, efficacy and religiosity modify in-group dyanmics. spssi.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

It has certainly been a productive last few days! Huge thanks to my fellow panelists @anamariab99.bsky.social @thia-sagh.bsky.social and Maitland Waddell for a great panel and conference!

A very personal reflection on how the financial crisis at the University of Dundee is affecting PhD students. Reduced teaching opportunities, financial difficulty and the cutting off of a route to employment. Thank you Taylor for writing this.

So proud of @danielbarnett7.bsky.social who had his viva today. Congrats Dr Barnett! Many thanks to the examiners Dr Sandra Obradovic and @thia-sagh.bsky.social, and the panel chair @chrisbenwell.bsky.social who made the whole experience so positive! 🎉👏

This was an honour to be a part of. Congratulations Dr. @danielbarnett7.bsky.social !

Brilliant talk by @danielbarnett7.bsky.social at the #Contemporary Histories of Populist Success in Central and Eastern Europe -- A Collaborative Seminar between the University of St. Andrews and Charles University. Now taking questions from the audience! 👏

Things at the University of Dundee are even worse than we @ducuuo.bsky.social thought: 600+ jobs to go to fixa deficit created by an unaccountable management. Support our strike against this bonfire of research & education in Dundee. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Great talk by @danielbarnett7.bsky.social at #SPSP2025 examining themes within far-right communities. Related to work done by Dr. Ian Hawkins examining SIMCA themes within White nationalists YouTube videos published within New Media & Society doi.org/10.1177/1461...

Thrilled to say the first publication from my PhD is finally live, Far-right narratives of online groups: A systematic review of recent cross-disciplinary research. Thanks to my coauthors @anamariab99.bsky.social and @mioaracristea.bsky.social for their help. psycnet.apa.org/search/displ...

My latest paper from my PhD is now in preprint! The paper looks at a cross-culutral comparative analysis between an American and Turkish far-right group, and the impact power has on the dynamics of each group. #soicalpsychology #politicalpsychology www.authorea.com/users/888096...

I am delighted to say that I have received the Leng Trust Scholarship, which will help fund my attendance at next week's SPSP annual conference in Denver. I will be presenting my work on Far-Right Online Narratives in Far-Right Spaces, on the panel Pushing the Envelope in Social Identity Theory.
