Another great episode of this podcast on political behaviour research - this time with @miguelpereira.bsky.social and his important insights on political elites

🚨 JOB ALERT 🚨 We're hiring a Teaching Assistant Professor in Comparative Politics! Come join a great department: unc.peopleadmin.com/postings/312... I'm on the committee, so send any questions my way. #polisky #academicjobs

He studies how political elites behave and decide - and why they can be out of touch ! On Politically In/Sane, Dr @miguelpereira.bsky.social (LSE) explains the gap: elites hear a skewed public, social media adds noise, and citizens underestimate governing constraints. Listen 👉 pod.link/1851725697

Had a really nice conversation with Sarina Sharma-Welsh in this podcast about studying elite behavior and political representation. I definitely prefer writing, though :)

I don't know how much we can learn about immigration policy in other countries from a local election in Denmark that had nothing to do with immigration. In a survey conducted by Epinion (n = 102.897) integration was the second least important topic (out of 13) for voters in this election.
