🚨 New article alert! 🚨 Thrilled to share our latest open-access article in Politics & Gender: “Beyond Likes: The Role of Influencers in Promoting Views about Feminism and Anti-Feminism in Spain”, w/ @martafraile.bsky.social and @pzuluaga.bsky.social . 📢 www.cambridge.org/core/journal... 🧵👇 Thread

Picked some surprisingly sunny days to visit the Netherlands again. 😎 ☀️

A well-paid, four-year PhD position in political theory/philosophy at the University of Amsterdam, to work primarily with my wonderful colleagues Lillian Cicerchia and Paul Raekstad, and also a bit with yours truly. werkenbij.uva.nl/en/vacancies...

Hamburg hat gewählt. Mit kleinräumigen Sozialstrukturdaten aus den Hamburger Stadtteilprofilen habe ich einen Blick auf die räumlichen Unterschiede im Wahlverhalten der Hansestadt geworfen. Wo haben die Parteien ihre Hochburgen, und wie lassen sich diese charakterisieren? Ein Thread. 🧵👇

🚨 First publication alert! 🚨 My first paper, based on my master’s thesis, is out! 🎉 With @michaelhunklinger.bsky.social & @lizamugge.bsky.social, we examine how people with disabilities are represented in German politics descriptively & substantively. 🇩🇪♿ 🔗 doi.org/10.1080/0964... 🧵👇

Machen wir uns nichts vor, Wissenschaft, insb. praxisorientierte Demokratie- & Rechtsextremismusforschung wird als nächstes ins Visier genommen. Vielleicht nicht so plump mit Prüfaufträgen & Kleinen Anfragen, aber Rechtsruck wird auch uns treffen. Seien wir solidarisch und stellen uns darauf ein.

🌈 rainbowR meet-up: Wednesday February 26th, 5pm UTC 🌈 - connect with other LGBTQ+ people who code in #RStats 🏳️‍🌈 - ask questions about R 🙋 - tell us about an R package you like 📦 - show us something R-related you’ve been working on 💻 ➡️ Registration via rainbowr.org/meetups

My article on voter support for disabled candidates is now published at doi.org/10.1086/732994. I find that left-wing voters in UK+US favour disabled candidates, while right-wing voters prefer non-disabled candidates - but only because voters assume disabled candidates to be more left-wing. [1/2]

Ich muss es so hart sagen: ich dachte, ich lese eine kleine Anfrage der AfD, aber sie stammt von der Union. 551 (!) Fragen zu Organisationen, Hintergrund seien „Proteste gegen die CDU“, darunter die „Omas gegen Rechts“ und andere. Bin ehrlich entsetzt. dserver.bundestag.de/btd/20/150/2...

It is officially not worth anymore to cross post on twitter. The only people left on there are the ones you don't want to reach anyway.

If you're tired of using "Winging it" as your guide to managing your research study data, I recommend checking out "Data Management in Large-Scale Education Research" instead to learn foundational practices for creating effective data management workflows. datamgmtinedresearch.com

Take a look at this great dashboard showing German parties' ad expenses for targeted ads!

Super excited to have @feloe.bsky.social at @freieuniversitaet.bsky.social today for our first DiMES workshop on automated image and video analysis. W/ @bcastanho.bsky.social @vivifabrien.bsky.social @ifpuk-berlin.bsky.social

Immer wieder wichtig daran zu erinnern, dass die AfD zwar viel (ostdeutsche) Landmasse blau einfärben kann, dahinter aber aufgrund der Bevölkerungsdichte viel weniger Menschen stehen als suggeriert wird - und vor allem keine echten 50%+x Mehrheiten, sondern um die 30%. www.dvpw.de/blog/die-mac...

The university just decided to cancel our event. Dark times for academic freedom and international law and a very dangerous precedent www.tagesspiegel.de/berlin/franc...

As Germany gears up for its parliamentary elections on February 23, I’ve analyzed digital ad spending trends from 2021 to 2025. TL;DR: ad spending increased but that is mainly due to a shift to Google. Click through the thread below or check out my blog post ⬇️ www.favstats.eu/post/btws/

My first paper has been published at PVS. In it, I investigate the strategic incentives behind parliamentary interruptions using data from the German Bundestag. In this thread you can find a short summary of the paper, which is available under open access here: rdcu.be/d4mHq

A happy new year to everyone! :)

Greetings from Vienna and I hope everyone has a "good slide" into the new year!

🚨 New Publication Alert! 🚨 Thrilled to share my latest article, "The Influence of Age on Citizens' Preferences for Age-Related Descriptive Representation," co-authored with @kirareneekurz.bsky.social & @martingross.bsky.social, is now published in Politics & Governance. #DescriptiveRepresentation

⏰Xmas came early this year!🎄 My final dissertation paper officially out in @polcommjournal.bsky.social! We test the role of algorithms in shaping the cost of reaching voters. We find: who sees political ads & at what price depends NOT just on targeting choices.🧵 tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Nice paper showing just *how* irreprodroducible research with proprietary generative LLMs is. Luckily there are open source alternatives (and they are very easy to use too!)

Verlosung! Der S.Fischer Verlag verlost zwei Exemplare meines Buches "Wut und Wertung. Warum wir über Geschmack streiten", das gerade erschienen ist. Um sich zu beteiligen, reicht ein Repost.

You can't even search for furniture stores in Germany without encountering the west/east divide.

The Meta Ad Library is now lagging behind 12 (!) days. It has never been this bad. Elections are going on in multiple countries including Romania, Sri Lanka, Urugay, and soon Ireland and Iceland. Absolutely unaccepable.

Men: Be an ally and disrupt the bro code. When you hear harassment directed at women, you can say: - "Not funny" - “We don’t do that here.” - “I find that offense, and I don’t ever want to hear that again.” www.fastcompany.com/91229814/men...

“In 2022, YouGov asked “What percentage of Americans do you think are ___?” The results were hilarious. Trans: 21% Muslim: 27% Jewish: 30% Black: 41% Live in NYC: 30% Gay or lesbian: 30% The errors are off by orders of magnitude. The trans estimation by 2,000%.” www.thebulwark.com/p/americans-...

Since this is making the rounds again, an updated version of my "Types of Political Behavior Papers" .

Very happy that we were able to invite @stefaniereher.bsky.social ! If you are interested in this toopic, I definitely recommend checking out her and @elizabethjevans.bsky.social book "Disability & Political Representation"!

Fascinating talk today by @stefaniereher.bsky.social at @freieuniversitaet.bsky.social on the representation of people with disabilities!

Important new 🌐 🗺 paper by @dweisstanner.bsky.social & Carsten Jensen in EJPR. In general, there's a lower policy congruence between voters and parties for low SES voters. BUT: parliamentary (turnout) AND extra-parliamentary mobilisation (unions) helps! doi.org/10.1111/1475...

I'm happy to see this discussion paper by Andrea Carson (La Trobe U) and myself on causes, consequences, and countermeasures of #misinformation out in the world. csrm.cass.anu.edu.au/research/pub... #polisky #dictatorsky

Nach dem Bruch der SPD/FDP-Koalition im Sept. 1982 brachen die Sympathien der SPD-, aber auch der Grünen-Anhänger für die FDP drastisch ein und blieben auf niedrigem Niveau für Jahrzehnte, mit deutlichen Implikationen für die Koalitionsbildung in Bund und Ländern. @jocmuel.bsky.social

Ich habe mal ein Starter Pack erstellt für alle Universitäten und Hochschulen des deutschsprachigen Raumes, die ich hier finden konnte. Enjoy! #IchBinHanna #LauteWissenschaft go.bsky.app/363EqBK (Warum ich mich selbst da nicht löschen kann, bleibt mir ein Rätsel, aber so sei es...)

Just created a starter package on political scientists *explicitly* working on political representation from my contact list. Let me know if you want to be added! 🙏 go.bsky.app/Tu5YrVx
