I'm recruiting 2 PhD researchers to work with me on a project studying how social groups influence vote choices!

Please share with interested students who would like to move to beautiful Leuven!
Thank you, Julius! If I reconstruct this correctly (I remember that you asked me about own research initiatives on the BSW), part of our motivation for contributing a paper to research on BSW voting actually emerged from the podcast.
