Gratulerer til alle tre med fin publikasjon!

Are we underestimating popular discontent with welfare state change, and the damage done to political-institutional trust? New measures of "welfare state emotions" suggest as much. With Tor Syrstad and Atle Haugsgjerd. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

Jeg ble ruspolitisk engasjert av å jobbe på Grønland og se konsekvensene av Norges inhumane, hyklerske og ukloke ruspolitikk på nært hold. Jeg anbefaler alle andre som vil ha en bedre ruspolitikk om å melde seg inn i @tryggere.bsky.social.

I'm very excited to see our paper on group appeals finally formatted and published online with the JoP! www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/epdf/10....

The Iran/US/Israel war might have already broken the record for the highest number of AI-generated videos and images that have gone viral during a conflict.

Interestingly, I said the exact same thing right after the 12-day war in June.

Welcome to our brave new world of AI misinformation.

Gratulerer, Ingvild! Glad for å høre at den gikk inn ☺️

The Green Gender Gap: Environmental attitudes and pro-environmental vote choice across Europe Does gender matter for how we engage with green political ideas? Using more than twenty years of data across 36 European countries, this paper identif…

Still controlling for gender without thinking about why? You can cite me💚👩‍🔬💚

I show that the gender gap in progressive climate and environmental views is a persistent empirical regularity that cannot be explained by differences in socioeconomic background, political ideology, or risk aversion.

The critique of unmeasured confounding is often levied in a lazy/broad way. It is trivially true in any observational study. But if the critic can't think of a plausible such confounder and posit a reasonable direction/magnitude of its bias then they're not doing productive science.

There is still one month left to apply to the WhoGov Mini-Conference on Political Elites. The deadline is the 1st of April.

It takes place in Oslo, August 20-21st, 2026. We welcome research on political elites broadly understood.

NRK legger ned utenriks­redaksjonen: 30 ansatte må søke seg til nye avdelinger Fra påske oppløser NRK utenriksredaksjonen. Ingen av de rundt 30 ansatte vet om de får tilhøre nye utenrikssatsinger, eller om de må jobbe med annet enn utenriksstoff.

En skulle tro det var en vits. Dette er vårt NRK. Når har vi bestemt mindre Urix - mer reality?

I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to

Netanyahu Calls Iran Strikes Necessary To Prevent War He Just Started

Netanyahu Calls Iran Strikes Necessary To Prevent War He Just Started

Hva!? Han tenker da nøye gjennom alt han sier og gjør...

Rather than telling ourselves that we have to “catch up” to some imagined goal of normalized AI use in higher education, Columbia should take advantage of its prominence as a university to propose something better, like classrooms free of screens, oral examinations, and an end to slippery, relativistic standards on AI use from university administrators. Our response to AI is an opportunity to distinguish Columbia as a reservation where minds are developed without the crutch of a chatbot.

As long as I'm quoting I should also cite this excellent paragraph by the student author:

I dag har AUF anmeldt grove voldstrusler rettet mot meg i etterkant av mitt oppgjør med ytre høyre-aktivist Espen Teigen.

Tonen og aggresjonen fra hans relativt store følgerbase er svært radikal og hatet bobler over på såvel Facebook som på Twitter. Det vil jeg være ærlig om at er ubehagelig.

Congrats, looks very interesting!

Very happy to see our new article “Reference groups and electoral behavior” (coauthored with Rune Stubager, Christoffer Hentzer Dausgaard & Michael Lewis-Beck) published!

Using ANES, DNES and AUTNES data, we show that liking or disliking social groups shapes vote choice.

Real autocracy shit.
