My first publication is out in @wepsocial.bsky.social , with @lennartschuermann.bsky.social ✨ We analyze how protest increases before different types of elections. We show crucial differences in how civil society and parties prioritize elections in a multilevel system. doi.org/10.1080/0140...
Amazing news! You are such a star!
There will now be only 3 parties in the Baden-Wutemberg Landtag: Greens, CDU, and AfD. With Greens and CDU likely to continue in government, AfD will become the only opposition. That could have dramatic implications for future elections in the state.
There indeed is so much to fight for, and in some countries (looking at you, US), some old fights have become new fights.
One thing (academic) men can do is not participate in manels! It can be uncomfortable at times but it is also still necessary. Here’s my experience: 🧵
Polls have closed in the first of this year's five German state elections, in prosperous Baden-Württemberg. It's looking like a remarkable win-from-behind by the Greens under @oezdemir.de. Full results over the course of the evening.

Ik denk deze Internationale Vrouwendag met name aan al mijn fantastische vrouwlijke collegas die onderschat, genegeerd en bedreigd worden. ❤️

According to the most recent Global Gender Gap report published by the WEF, the Netherlands has dropped from 28th to 43rd place in the rankings. The low ranking is mostly due to only two of the index’s metrics – economic and political representation.

Het gaat ‘bezorgde’ radicaal-rechtse partijen niet écht om het welzijn van vrouwen, zegt socioloog Sara Farris
There is no "political ad ban" on Meta. A ban that isn't enforced isn't a ban.
Former AfD leader Frauke Petry and now leader of a splinter party is running several political ads on Meta. One has been active since Oct 23 and reached 171k people across Germany.

As local elections approach, we talk to polling expert and political scientist Tom Louwerse about the kaleidoscopic range of candidate and parties on offer and how voters can make sense of it all. Plus the fish doorbell is back.
Who produces hate speech? And how does that matter for content moderation?
We show that across different countries and platforms, a relatively small share of users are responsible for a very large share of hate - overall, 5% write 83-100% of hateful content.

De academische vrijheid is niet voor iedereen gelijk, betoogt universitair docent migratiegeschiedenis Nadia Bouras in de Annie Romein-Verschoorlezing. ‘Mensen die op mij lijken, doen er blijkbaar niet toe.’
Je kan op basis van de data van het DNPP veel concluderen, maar niet het *aantal* Nederlanders dat lid is van een politieke partij.
Mensen kunnen immers dubbellid zijn. Dat was in het verleden een marginaal fenomeen maar nu met GL-PvdA zeker niet.
