🚨 What are the long-term effects of imperialism & authoritarianism on voting behavior? 🚨 I recently gave a presentation that speaks to this question at Stanford University's @theeuropecenter.bsky.social. It’s based on a paper with D Gingerich. Here is the recording: www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8Np...

Heart-wrenching reporting on the dehumanization of homeless people in the U.S. (pre-Trump). Great original reporting again by @propublica.org

After a long time, I’m back to the Bay Area for 10 days! ☀️ It’s already bringing back a lot of memories from my stay here in 2011 and 2012. ☺️ If anyone has research interests in common with me and would like to meet up in Berkeley, Palo Alto, or San Francisco, let me know. 😊

Absolute 🔥 start to this year's virtual HPE workshop! @jannetukiainen.bsky.social is presenting a paper titled "Candidate Exit and Voter Loyalty During Early Democratization" on Thursday. Toke Aidt (Cambridge) will discuss. Send me a message if you're not on our list but would like to be!

Glad to see our work on empathy as a source of compliance with COVID-19 recommendations being included in this replication project. Glad too that our study replicated well!

To all researchers in Historical Political Economy based in Europe: Please help @beckerbastian.bsky.social, @lhaffert.bsky.social, and me get a better picture of HPE in Europe and the challenges researchers face by participating in this 15 min survey: forms.gle/EtLna72JNXFh...

If you are Europe-based and interested or working in HPE, please complete the short survey below 👇 It would be cool to build and establish a network of European HPE Scholars. @alicirone.bsky.social @bvancoppenolle.bsky.social @janvogler.bsky.social. Please help spread the word!

Thrilled that my article has just been published at @apsrjournal.bsky.social! 🎉 The article argues that low statistical power is a major impediment to acquiring cumulative knowledge on questions concerning cross-national differences: www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

Is your research in Historical Political Economy and are you based in Europe? @beckerbastian.bsky.social, @cathrinmohr.bsky.social and I seek to map the current state as well as the future potential of the field in Europe. Help us to do so by taking our 15-minute survey: forms.gle/kXXsGQZUVtrH...

🚨 Danish Historical Political Economy Workshop 🚨 Do you work on HPE? If you do, make sure to check out Lasse Aaskoven's Danish HPE Workshop, scheduled for Feb. 21, 2025. I had a fantastic experience when I attended in 2023! Several travel & hotel grants are available. Deadline: Dec. 31, 2024 ‼️

Mal wieder herausragender Datenjournalismus bei @zeit.de : www.zeit.de/politik/2024... Übrigens gibt es zu fast jeder hier untersuchten Grenze auch akademische Studien (kleiner Thread):

Finally!!! RAISED TO OBEY launches today 🎉🎉🎉 I learned a great deal researching this book It transformed my views on education, politics, and economic development I hope others will learn from it, too! press.princeton.edu/books/paperb... @princetonupress.bsky.social #RaisedToObey #Education

First post on Blue Sky! Thought I’d start it with a thread laying out the chapters in The Oxford Handbook of Historical Political Economy (the proofs are finally in!) The Handbook comes out in November

I’m pleased to announce to #polisky our forthcoming APSR article, “Measurement that Matches Theory.” In it, we introduce a Bayesian IRT framework that allows users to identify latent dimensions with substantive theoretical meaning. The paper is open access for now here: tinyurl.com/48ktz5jc. (1/8)🧵

Are you at #APSA2024 & interested in political economy? Tomorrow there will be 2 great PE panels. The 1st one is at 8 AM: "PE in Geographic Space" Papers by D. Gingerich, @vheddesheimer.bsky.social, @hannohilbig.bsky.social, @awiedemann.bsky.social, A. Cuttner, R. Hubert, P. Montagnes,& C. Carter

Congratulations to John Aldrich, former APSA President and Pfizer-Pratt University Professor of Political Science at Duke University, who has been elected to the National Academy of Sciences! #polisky politicalsciencenow.com/john-aldrich...

Yesterday, I had the pleasure of giving a presentation that synthesizes my research on the history of public bureaucracies at the University of Southern Denmark. If anyone is interested in the slides, please send me a message or email. I will be happy to share them! 😊

I'm excited to present my research on state building in Latin America next week at the Virtual Conference in HPE.

We are looking for a postdoc to join our team 😊✨ perfect for those interested in historical state formation, historical geospatial data, etc. Gothenburg has a great research environment. Get in touch if you have any questions!

🚨 Virtual Conference in Historical Political Economy 🚨 The VWHPE co-convenors (@tinepaulsen.bsky.social, @dkofanov.bsky.social, & I) are excited to announce the first annual virtual conference in HPE. It will take place on May 9, starting at 10.45 AM ET.   Program: historicalpe.org/annual-virtu...

In the last few weeks, I have received a very warm welcome from my new colleagues at the Department of Political Science at Aarhus University. It feels like a great privilege to join this extremely friendly community, and I hope that I can make a small contribution to it as well. 😊

🚨 New research paper: *Rulers on the Road*. We map emperors’ itinerant rule in the Holy Roman Empire from 719 to 1519 and shed light on how they projected power without centralized bureaucracies. Very fun project with @claranw.bsky.social @andrejkokkonen.bsky.social & Jørgen Møller shorturl.at/npKQ4

Yesterday, after 2.5 years at the University of Konstanz, I received my certificate of discharge from the German civil service from university rector K. Holzinger. 😊 I'm thankful for having been part of the amazing group of scholars at Konstanz and excited about joining Aarhus University next! 🙂

New Publication! My latest @jeppjournal.bsky.social article provides a broad overview of the EU's response to the emergence of autocratic member govts & explains why we shouldn't expect the EU to escape its "autocracy trap" anytime soon. First 50 copies free: www.tandfonline.com/eprint/7RQSU...

If you are in Brussels next week & interested in how the EU is dealing with the rise of autocratic governments in member states like Hungary, come check out my talk Monday 19 Feb. at 16:30 hosted by ULB’s Institut d'études européennes. Details & registration 👇 www.iee-ulb.eu/en/events/re...

🚨Jobs🚨 2 postdocs up to six years: shorturl.at/BP027 Small FAQ already provided. Get in touch if you have questions, I will try to update the FAQ regularly. Please share and apply!

It feels amazing to get one of the first copies of the new Oxford Handbook of Historical Political Economy, which was edited by Jeff Jenkins & Jared Rubin. 🥳 The release of this book is an important moment for the emerging field of HPE! For me, it was an honor to make a small contribution to it. 🙂

Perfect timing. I booked a vacation starting on Feb 8th. Now I learned that Chris Koski & my book will be published on the same day by Cambridge University Press. It's titled "Means, Motives, and Opportunities: How Executives and Interest Groups Set Public Policy" www.cambridge.org/core/books/m...
