Thanks @migcitizenapsa.bsky.social! @isabel-ruiz.bsky.social, @cvar-sil.bsky.social and I received an honorable mention for the section's Best Paper Award this year, for our study showing which types of migration policies towards Venezuelans that Colombians prefer.

🚨 New article out in @wepsocial.bsky.social ! 📄 From nations to regions: electoral volatility in European multi-level politics Open access👉 doi.org/10.1080/01402382.2025.2557768 National politics in Europe is growing more electorally unstable - does this volatility also reach the regions? Thread 🧵

Anti-immigration demonstration in the Netherlands escalates. This is exactly what happens when far-right ideas are tolerated and normalised over an extended period of time. The far right gains confidence and grows, both at the ballot box and in the streets. nos.nl/artikel/2583...

As a practicing Catholic (and a lay minister each Sunday!) this is outrageous. Charlie Kirk preached exclusion, division, and actively endangered groups in society; the complete OPPOSITE of what we actually hear at mass each week (which is love and help thy neighbor)

Social media bots: often annoying, sometimes useful. In this open access research note in @prxjournal.bsky.social, I tell the origin story of @rrresrobot.bsky.social (which you absolutely want to follow) 👀. The 🤖 exists to showcase research on the #farright by posting six times per day, every day.

Are you interested in how parties' parliamentary behavior (e.g., passing bills, calling for elections, forming coalitions, cooperating/conflicting) affects voters (e.g., electoral behavior, perceptions, affective polarization)? Please let me know. I am putting together an MPSA panel proposal.

This year at APSA, several mentors and friends reminded me of something worth sharing: some work just takes longer. It doesn't matter how much you work. The discipline doesn't always reward it, but it doesn't mean it's not important. In a career with so much randomness, ask the questions you want.

In Nordrhein-Westfalen wählen ziemlich gleich viele Leute AfD und Grüne. Medial und politisch geht es heute allerdings fast nur um die AfD und ihre Themen. Die "besorgten Bürger" die Aufmerksamkeit bekommen, sind die Anhänger der AfD. Wir sagen ihnen klar: es lohnt sich rechtsextrem zu wählen

The German state of North Rhine-Westphalia, whose population is roughly equal to that of the Netherlands, is holding local elections today. Expect lots of bellwether this and 'test' that 👇

The University of Cologne plans drastic cuts to its Political Science department, potentially abolishing the MSc in Political Science and eliminating the professorships in IR and Comparative Politics. This would severely weaken the social sciences at @unicologne.bsky.social. Petition (de/en) ⤵️

Polisci newest clean test against far right accommodation theory just dropped! As evidence piles on lets also discuss what generates this consistent mindset among center parties? I really want to know if there might be specific selection biases in the comms consultants hired to advise these parties

V important to call out the strategic use of gender in anti-immigrant politics. Our research shows femonationalism is growing across Europe -- used most (but not only!) by the far right, esp when party rivals converge on anti-immigration positions. Working paper: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

In this study we find that distrusting citizens in particular tend to value the authenticity of politicians.

Notre Dame is investing in democracy research in lots of exciting ways, including these hires. Happy to talk to senior folks about working at Notre Dame and living in South Bend. (Spoiler: There are lots of good reasons I've spent my entire career here).
