Unsere Kollegin @ulrikekrause.bsky.social @ifpolms.bsky.social hat den Rita Süssmuth-Forschungspreis erhalten - herzlichen Glückwunsch, Ulrike! Dass das absolut verdient ist, wissen alle, die ihr (und ihrer Forschung) auf Bluesky folgen. Und wer es noch nicht tut, sollte es!

📆 Hier kommt die Vorschau auf das Programm zur Tagung der @dvpwtheoriesektion.bsky.social zum Thema "Politische Öffentlichkeit" an der @fau.de! (1/5) www.poloeff.de/programm-erl... #poloeff

Announcement: I'm now Co-Chair of the IPSA Political Philosophy Research Committee @ipsa-rc31.bsky.social. Working with @humeiraiqtidar.bsky.social. Have joined up partly 2 ensure the group continues but also 2 massively grow its presence, starting with the next biennial conference in Rome (2027)...

Looking forward to these two panels at #ecprgc2025 "The Normativity of International Institutions: Between Commitment and Contestation" (with @brianmilstein.bsky.social @mpatberg.bsky.social Eva Erman, Silviya Lechner) "Postnational Constitutionalism" (with Carmen Pavel, Francesco Rizzi Brignoli)

Come work with us in Münster @ifpolms.bsky.social CfA: Professorship (W3) in "Political Science with a Focus on International Sustainability"👇

Here is my new article on public political theory in times of emergency. I discuss how democratic underlabourers can practice "emergency underlabouring" journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

In our introduction, @svenjaahlhaus.bsky.social, Oliver Eberl and I distinguish two interpretations of the democratic underlabourer and explain the problems the model is facing in global contexts – above all, the absence of a democratic framework. journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

Are you interested in public political theory and an adequate role for political theorists who are neither detached experts nor committed activists? "Democratic underlabouring" captures this idea - and we have edited a brand new special issue on this topic 👇
