Today was the best day for global democracy in quite a while.

First and foremost, electoral victory over competitive authoritarian regime that has hijacked institutions, obstructed justice and turned accountability into a mockery needs to be sweet! 🍫🍫🍫

Norms are eroding and racist rhetoric is proliferating in American politics. Why do white Americans accept this shift? In my book — which is out now with Cambridge University Press — I tackle this question. www.cambridge.org/us/universit...

Having the honour and a great pleasure to open @paperssseminars.bsky.social this year! If you're around #Madrid be free to pop by next Tuesday!

If journal editorial is of interest to you - replace me at @jeppjournal.bsky.social as Associate Editor. I've loved working with JEPP. The team, papers, and reviewers have been awesome. Happy to answer questions if you have any. editorresources.taylorandfrancis.com/editor_recru...

Does anyone have colleagues/friends who recently passed through Canadian work permit application process as postdocs? I'd be very happy to connect and discuss the process. Thanks!

ISPP stands with Associate Professor Vladimir Mihić following his expulsion from the University of Novi Sad after supporting student-led anti-corruption protests in Serbia. We call on the university to reverse this decision and uphold academic freedom. Read the letter here: https://bit.ly/4ebbLAb

Remember that recent paper claiming to show that "ideological bias" determined the results obtained by immigration policy research teams? A careful, open-code reanalysis by @kauspurg.bsky.social & Josef Brüderl finds that the result arises from a coding error. —> doi.org/10.31222/osf...

Had a chance to go through a couple of chapters and it's definitely something worth having at hand if you're researching anything related to trust 👇

A positive end to the first week back is that the book is now fully available. It's not on their website yet, but it is on mine. I'm really happy with how it turned out and grateful to all the authors. Hope it's useful. 🙌 djdevineorg.wordpress.com/wp-content/u...

How does cinema shape our understanding of migration? Join me for the first @mpc-eui.bsky.social seminar of next year (in-person/online), where I will share ideas based on a global dataset of 410 documentaries, films, and television series on migration. migrationpolicycentre.eu/events/?id=5...

Why social trust is failing – and how Psychology can restore it… David Sharpley, Associate Fellow of the British Psychological Society, on a ‘cultural drift’ that has ‘unsettled shared principles’. www.bps.org.uk/psychologist...

A very nice step in expansion of academic and policy co-operation between 🇷🇸 and 🇮🇪 Looking forward to seeing more mutual efforts in the future!

Tariffs might be the word of 2025. Given the state of *looks around* we asked: is there demand for tariffs in Europe? @grahn.bsky.social @katharinalawall.bsky.social @sophiemainz.bsky.social Maria Nordbrandt & I show the answer is a resolute no @jeppjournal.bsky.social doi.org/10.1080/1350...

This is your heads up that the deadline for submitting your abstract to the inaugural @epssnet.bsky.social conference in Belfast is a month from now (Nov 7)! I'm chairing the Migration Politics section w/ @aalrababah.bsky.social and we're excited to receive contributions from across the discipline🕺🏻

I really strongly feel that some fields of research would profit if researchers stopped collecting online data for some time and instead maybe just read a bit outside of their field.

🎉We're back! 24 hours of Political Psychology is once again coming to Vienna - save the dates: 26 / 27 February 2026 ▶️ Abstract submission is OPEN - find the link & further information here: 24hpolpsy.univie.ac.at Very excited to co-host with @markuswagner.bsky.social and @isabellareb.bsky.social

The success of the far right is not only measured in votes and seats but in its impact on rhetoric, policy and ideology. The fact that a (nominally) social democratic head of government with a huge majority choses to say and do this is maybe the biggest success of the far right in Europe yet.

📕We are delighted to kick off our Wednesday Seminar Series for the new academic year with Dr Marco Seegers and his talk entitled "Equalizer or amplifier? The role of further education for social inequality". Join us in College Green this Wednesday from 3-4pm!

The Münster Replication Games will take place on November 28, 2025! + 1 day event to conduct reproduction/replication + connect with fellow researchers interested in OS + refine your coding skills + become a co-author on a meta-paper Register here: indico.uni-muenster.de/event/3526

The University of Cologne plans drastic cuts to its Political Science department, potentially abolishing the MSc in Political Science and eliminating the professorships in IR and Comparative Politics. This would severely weaken the social sciences at @unicologne.bsky.social. Petition (de/en) ⤵️

V important to call out the strategic use of gender in anti-immigrant politics. Our research shows femonationalism is growing across Europe -- used most (but not only!) by the far right, esp when party rivals converge on anti-immigration positions. Working paper: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

📢 Call for abstracts - Disentangling the integration paradox ☀️ Destination: IMISCOE! 🧩 Join our panels at IMISCOE - with @sbvanoosten.bsky.social, @nellageurts.bsky.social & @genoni.bsky.social - to further our efforts in debunking, developing and driving studies on the integration paradox! 1/3

Finally, long awaited return of Respect the Marble and it looks more stylish than ever! Sept. 4th and 12th penciled down in my calendar.

A new study finds that ten years after arriving in Germany in 2015, 64% of refugees are now employed. Yet, their average income remains just 70% of that of German citizens, and the gender gap is striking: while 76% of men are employed, only 35% of women have found work. iab.de/en/publicati...

the range of issues it is politically acceptable to discuss – seems to be widening in an alarming manner. The deliberately incendiary juxtaposition of “Muslim” and “migrant” with “rapist” or “illegal” has become almost the norm in some parts of public debate. + the way we debate these issues

Important takeaways from the newest @fraraffaelli.bsky.social piece 👇🏻
