Excited to be presenting in shorts on this years' EPSA! 🩳 I'll be presenting joint work w. @fghjorth.bsky.social about geographical representation and commute time's effect on candidate supply 🗳️🧭 📍Friday 16:50-18:30 in room 0A.01

🚨EPSA alert 🚨 @priera.bsky.social and I are organizing a pre-EPSA conference on political institutions on Wed 25 June. Same location as EPSA - Room 0.A.04. We've an amazing line-up of fantastic junior colleagues matched with more senior discussants. All EPSA attendees can attend and are welcome

🧵1/ Are primaries bad for political diversity? Conventional wisdom says yes—but our article in @wepsocial.bsky.social shows that candidate selection modes are not necessarily a bottleneck for representation, at least when it comes to demand. 🗳️👥 @sandrahkansson.bsky.social doi.org/10.1080/0140...

🚨 working paper (w. @morganlcj.bsky.social @markuswagner.bsky.social): Protesters are not judged equally - even if tactics of groups are similar. We ran an experiment in 🇩🇪 testing how people react to farmers vs. climate activists blocking roads. What we find is disturbing: osf.io/preprints/os...

🚨 REPLICATION REPORT UPDATE: One year ago, a tweet by John Holbein alerted me, @ollefolke.bsky.social, and @jopieboy.bsky.social to a paper with a shocking result about Sweden’s law criminalizing the purchase of sex.🧵

How do challenger parties—those without prior governing experience—gain access to executive power? In our paper out now in @thejop.bsky.social, @mvinaes.bsky.social, @jacobnyrup.bsky.social, and I explore whether simply holding legislative office helps them join government. Brief 🧵👇 1/10

Another day of collecting the rents from amazing data (and researchers) on informing Danes (and the world) about Denmark.

Nyt socialt medie, samme gamle rant: Spotify har i fire år svigtet julestemningen ved at inkludere tre semi-kendte julesangsfortolkninger af Burhan G på spillelisten Julehits. Tilføjelsen af “Merry Xmas Everybody” af Slade er dog en formildende omstændighed.

The “science is always political” trope is very frustrating—at some level it is trivially true, but we can make science less political and that would be good! Highly recommend this essay by @stuartjritchie.bsky.social on this: open.substack.com/pub/stuartri...

I defended my PhD last week and I am now PhD in Political Science! Thanks to everyone who contributed a long the way and made this happen! 🙏 In the next three years I will be working as a PostDoc for @fghjorth.bsky.social 🚀

I don't know who needs to hear this, but if you are writing a paper where there are two theories Theory 1: X-->Y Theory 2: Z-->Y Then the regression model Y~ X + Z is probably not what you are looking for.

Good thread about the upcoming election in Poland! (which I didn’t know was underway 😬)

One week ago, these amazing scholars gathered at our gender politics workshop at Lund University to discuss the importance of gender equality (w/ @hannaeback.bsky.social @bcegerod.bsky.social @grahn.bsky.social Julie Hassing Nielsen). Social sci folks, gender is not just a control variable! polisky

Looking forward to teach OLS on Thursday

Publication Alert! Check out my new piece in @EJPRjournal where I explore the sexuality gap in voter turnout in a context where core LGBT+ rights are protected. Does the gap persist or dissipate? Find out: doi.org/10.1111/1475... #VoterTurnout #LGBTRights #svpol

Once in a while, a department is lucky enough to welcome a stellar group of scholars discussing a theoretically and normatively important topic. Well, this week, our poli sci dept at Lund University has the privilege of doing so! Stoked to learn about the new frontiers of gender politics research!

Fellow Bluesky-ers: I've started a ✨Substack✨. It's called Somewhat Unlikely. You should subscribe. It's a place for me, as an ex-academic, to write data-driven pieces about politics/social science outside of paywalled, peer-reviewed publishing. More here: somewhatunlikely.substack.com/p/intro
