Two astronauts in space, one pointing a gun at the other, with Earth in the background and text reading “SO-CALLED RIGHT-WING POPULISM,” “Wait, it’s all RACISM?”, and “Always has been.”
Going forward from today, I’ll stop publishing and just repost this meme regularly #AcademicWriting #farright #radicalright
🚨 So excited about our new paper in @BJPS: h7.cl/1iliZ! We (Corinna, Lena, Camila, Sarah) analyze how gender shapes the extent to which ministers are scrutinized by parliament.
We are happy to release the Paths to Power Dashboard. It is the perfect tool for politics nerds!
You can find it here: ptp.isv.sv.uio.no/ptp/
It allows you to explore governments from 1966-2021 using the PtP and WhoGov datasets. See examples below.

History is not that relevant for #radicalright politics today. #OpenAccess 📝 #Germany #Prussia
Here's a relatively recent (2024) syllabus for an MA course on #farright #voting
Because I have been such a good boy (once again), 🎅 has an early present for me: here's a brand-new (open access) article discussing the use of #radicalright as a concept in current scholarship.
And if that wasn't already great (it is), there's more 1/3

Sehr guter Kommentar zu den absurden Erzählungen des Hessischen Innenministers und des Ministerpräsidenten:
"Es gab keine „bürgerkriegsähnlichen Zustände“ in Gießen. Mit ihrem Framing übernimmt die hessische Regierung die AfD-Rhetorik."

Why do @theresabernemann.bsky.social, @timo-sprang.net and I believe that #History is overrated (where the #farright is concerned)? #Videoabstract, full free article here: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... 📓 💻

Crazy story: I finished my habilitation with my inaugural lecture last Thursday.👩🎓 A lot of work completed under not always easy circumstances: #MomInAcademia #FirstGen At the same time, I am grateful for all the support along the way 🍀🙏 @kai-arzheimer.com @jasminriedl.bsky.social & Simon Franzmann
Bildungssystem durchgespielt!🎓✨Antrittsvorlesung der großartigen @jasfitzpatrick.bsky.social mit würdigem Ende (s. Bild). Eine inspirierende & engagiertere Wissenschaftlerin, geschätzte Koautorin & wichtige Wegbegleiterin: danke, dass ich bei diesem besonderen Moment dabei sein durfte!
Top work with top peeps @theresabernemann.bsky.social & @timo-sprang.net
I find it so silly seeing so many articles that claim X percent of ChatGPT answers are wrong. I can create a test where it gets 100 percent of the questions wrong. To me, that's an irrelevant metric. It's on users to understand what good questions are to ask of AI, what good use cases are.
🚨New paper out in @jeppjournal.bsky.social: doi.org/10.1080/1350...
@manuelwagner.bsky.social & I re-conceptualize class representation to take into account social mobility between classes and variation in how individuals enter politics.
Look. It would be great if there was one simple trick for winning elections. But 'just be more moderate' isn't it.
In fact, you can use the NYT's exact method to 'prove' a 'Progressive Advantage' of +1.4 pts.
This piece shows what's really going on: funded candidates do better than unfunded ones.
Word.
Reading stuff like this, I should definitely spend more time on the Internet 🥹. Thanks a lot, Kai! It was a great time I had in Mainz – I got to learn so much from you and so many other great people there!
⌛ Time flew by during my research stay at @gesis.org Cologne this Aug/Sept! I had the pleasure of working with Dennis Abel & Stefan Jünger on how weather extremes shape climate policy support across political orientations. Grateful for the inspiring environment and great collaboration!
Missed this, but amazing feeling to be known by this great bot! 😎
