I’m very excited to share that my paper “Cleavage theory meets civil society: A framework and research agenda” with @eborbath.bsky.social & Swen Hutter has now been published online in ‪@wepsocial.bsky.social‬ (w/ open access funding thanks to @wzb.bsky.social‬!) www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

My new post. How current political science replicated my PhD thesis of 25 years ago. And took it further, in a paper in the @apsrjournal.bsky.social and other work, by @liesbethooghe.bsky.social, Gary Marks and @jonnekamphorst.bsky.social. open.substack.com/pub/hermwerf...

The second #MayDay2025 project is with the amazing @rrahnama.bsky.social and focuses on knowledge about labor history. We argue that the absence of education on historical class struggle and labor organizing weakens support for the contemporary labor movement in the US.

Excited to talk about two new projects on #MayDay2025. The first paper focuses on the voting behavior of working-class voters. My argument is that *voters misperceive how important economic issues are to the left*.

A car attack in Munich just days before the election-was it a game-changer? Politico speculated it could boost the AfD, but the results tell a different story. Our research on the Utrecht attack shows why voters often rally around incumbents instead: www.cambridge.org/core/journal...
