Arrived in Prague 🇨🇿 for the #ECPR Joint Sessions! Excited to present my findings on how children’s perceived participation shapes their democratic values — Thursday is my session. Anyone else here? Let’s connect! 🤝 #PoliticalScience #ECPRJointSessions

Felt like the Wolf of Wall Street today because I made 5 phone calls

Angekommen in Hofgeismar zur Tagung "Welches Demokratieverständnis braucht Demokratiebildung?" Ich bin gespannt, wen ich hier alles kennen lernen darf. #DeGeDe

Advantage of working from home in your early 30s #phdlife

Meiner Meinung nach gibt es in nationaler/internationaler Forschung 2 Lehren mit Blick auf Parteien wie die CDU/CSU: a) Es braucht starke konservative Parteien, die konservativ-demokratische Auffassungen vertreten & b) sie zerstören sich selbst, wenn die klare Kante zu radikalen Rechten fällt.

Solidarity with the post-Gesellschaftsabend morning sessions.✊️ #gebf25 @gebf25.bsky.social

A somewhat annoying and unglorious milestone in my career as a scientist has just been reached: My first peer review has been submitted. ✅

At least during my phd I have the opportunity to "work" at beautiful universities.

On my way to Mannheim for #GEBF2025. Looking forward to meet fantastic colleagues and listen to inspiring presentations. @gebf25.bsky.social

📢 How can teachers better address right-wing extremism in schools? Together with my students, we identified 4 key demands: 1️⃣ Mandatory training for teachers 2️⃣ Political education for all future teachers 3️⃣ Strengthened media literacy 4️⃣ Collaboration with external partners #Education #Democracy

Finally my university the @uni-wuppertal.bsky.social is leaving X. Good decision! #eXit

Happy New Year to everyone! 🥳 Looking forward to an exciting 2025.

🎄 Year in Review 2024: A year full of highs and lows! PhD life =rollercoaster 🎢: doubts, small steps – and in the end, progress. Early 2024: no papers submitted. Now: 4 papers submitted, 2 under revision. Plus, 3 conferences & 600 primary school students surveyed.

🎧 Mein #SpotifyWrapped: Bei den Podcasts ist @lagedernation.org Nation auf #3. In der aktuellen Folge: Rechtsextremismus an Schulen, Neutralität von Lehrkräften & Demokratiebildung – alles Themen, die ich auch in meinem Seminar diskutiere. Welche (politischen) Podcasts hört ihr?

📣We are hiring!🔥I'm looking for a PhD & Postdoc. 🔍Research focus on far-right parties, movements & ideologies in int'l perspective, with emphasis on the ways in which the far right is embedded in everyday culture. (2 further positions available, please share!) uni-tuebingen.de/fakultaeten/...

It is up to anyone to create starter packs if they think they have "a gap in the literature" to fill ;) Usually someone starts a list and asks others to share and enhance it with recommendations on who the creator could add. Either way I found you on this one: bsky.app/starter-pack...

"Florian imitates his classmate's scurrilous behaviour." Class book entry from my religion teacher, who was sometimes wearing two different shoes.

Here is the second starter pack on researchers working on Political Behavior. The first pack filled up quickly. If you requested to be included and don’t see your name here, please reach out again—I might have missed your message go.bsky.app/CAMXbym

There is a political psych pack as well! go.bsky.app/T2Uc2Bx

How democratic are ordinary citizens in Western democracies? If you're curious, here’s a starter pack of researchers studying citizens’ democratic values on Bluesky 🔵 Let me know if you’d like to be included in the list! 👇🏽 #Democracy #PoliticalScience go.bsky.app/HX24CcL

I've created a small starter pack of political scientists working on youth politics: party youth wings, voting age reforms, electoral behavior of young people, youth political representation, youth movements,... Feel free to suggest additions :) go.bsky.app/P4xzF6p

pov: #Wintersemester in Wuppertal. ☃️

What has happened here? I put my Twitter account on hold and admittedly neglected my Bluesky account a bit. But now I gained almost 500 followers.😮 Of course I'm very pleased about that and this should give me an incentive to use my account more again. I'm really looking forward to the exchange! 😊

Reform des #WissZeitVG ist 1 Marathon, kein Sprint. Aber auch beim Marathon kann man irgendwann das Ziel sehen & es heißt: Endspurt!! Da sind wir nun endlich. Umso wichtiger, jetzt nochmal alles zu geben, damit die im Koalitionsvertrag versprochenen Ziele erreicht werden #WissZeitVGVersprechenHalten

Good start after my holiday... Two rejections on my first day back in office. 😬 I know that's part of the process, but do I really have to get used to it that a desk rejection takes 2 months? 😳

With this photo from the Portuguese coast, I'm signing off for a 2 week social media break... #Holiday

First #halfmarathon ✅️ #StadtwerkeBochumHalbmarathon

I don't want to bash Republicans (okay, thats a lie), but is it a coincidence that all the examples in the article were Democrats nominating Republican politicians? spiegel.de/ausland/wahl... via @spiegelmagazin.bsky.social

Presentation ✅ First chair of a symposium ✅ #ECER2024

After conference dinner with my colleagues from Wuppertal. #ECER2024

#ECER2024 keeps on giving... 😀

Day 3 starts with a panel discussion on how to strengthen education for democracy. The panelists discuss latest findings of the #HorizonEurope #Democrat project. Very interesting perspectives!

About last day: Luxury life of a researcher 💅 #ECER2024

Finally arrived at university of Cyprus in Nicosia where #ECER2024 takes place. Looking forward to meet inspiring colleagues here. 😊

Now on my way to Larnaca heading to #ECER2024 Looking forward to meet fantastic colleagues from the field of educational research. 😊

Heute ist Workshoptag im Kinder- und Jugenparlament #Sprockhövel Wir sprechen heute über politische Argumentation und Jugendbeteiligung vor Ort. #KiJuPa

🚨 Please read + repost: 🚨 14 hours until the big run! My team & I arrived in Idre Fjäll! The weather is AWFUL, the vibes are GREAT! So far, we collected 1,100€ of donations for @ScholarsAtRisk - thanks!!! 🙏🏽 Please continue to give & share: gofund.me/ed070d60 🧵1/5

Gerade das #derSpiegel #Spitzengespräch gehört und die Beiträge von Herrn Weinberg sind wirklich schwer auszuhalten. Ein gutes Beispiel, dass wirtschaftlicher Erfolg wenig Aussagekraft hat... er verstrickt sich in Widersprüchen, aber denkt er hätte den Durchblick.

Am Samstag mache ich mit dem Kinder- und Jugendparlament Sprockhövel einen Workshop zur kommunalen politischen Beteiligung für 11- bis 18-Jährige. Ich freue mich sehr auf den spannenden Austausch mit den Kindern und Jugendlichen! 🗳️👧👦 #KiJuPa #Sprockhövel #Jugendbeteiligung

Last day in Dublin and last morning run in wonderful Phoenix Park. Now on my way back home to Bochum. #marathontraining #teamlaufen

Last Guinness in Dublin... again the @ecpr.bsky.social was a great experience. I met so many awesome people, had great discussions and got very valuable feedback to my research. Thanks to all who made that possible.

Heading back from a busy #ecprgc24. Thanks @ECPR, @ECPR_AffPol, and everyone for a great time! Daily reminder for Scholars at Risk and my crowdfunding, please give and share to support our research community : gofund.me/ed070d60 #AcademicChatter

Day 4 was the presentation day. I got really helpful feedback to my current research paper about democratic values in childhood. A very special thanks to Vladena Bätge Jahn, Philipp Kleer and esp. Simone Abendschön. #ecprgc24 @ecpr.bsky.social

Last preps on my presentation for tomorrow. Very much looking forward to discuss my study on democratic values in childhood at the @ecpr.bsky.social citizenship section at 11:15 in Newman Building, F103 at #ecprgc2024.
