A single 3-hour workshop measurably increased support for tough climate policies, like taxing beef and banning short-haul flights. New @eui-sps.bsky.social research in PNAS. We spoke to authors Max Bradley & Nina Lopez-Uroz 🔗 loom.ly/QJIXMpQ

Tentative support for preconceptions 🤔 These authors 🧵 look at variations in mass attitudes towards the Russo-Ukrainian War using two types of survey data, finding that top-down models of #PublicOpinion may better explain variations of attitudes across a country buff.ly/j12fNJ5

Last week, after four incredible years, I defended my dissertation and was awarded a PhD in Political Science from the @eui-eu.bsky.social. It was a really special moment surrounded by family and friends, both old and new. Thank you to everyone who came to the defense and supported me along the way.

We have a new paper out in PNAS. Susanna’s thread outlines our findings. The big picture takeaway is that well-designed climate education (active, personally relevant, science-based) can complement fiscal and regulatory instruments by building public support for ambitious policy!

🚨I have a new paper out in PNAS with my co-authors, @maxbradley.bsky.social @renschazottes.bsky.social and @ninalopezuroz.bsky.social: "Educational policies can strengthen climate coalitions." A thread on what we found (and a great story about doing ambitious research without funding!) [1/9]

I’ll be in Dublin next Thursday to talk about the PhD program at the EUI. It is a fully funded four year program at one of Europes best research universities (yes, I am biased…). If anyone has interested students based in Ireland please share with them!

@jeffcolgan.bsky.social and I have spent some time thinking about different approaches to teaching the politics of climate change. We advocate an approach that emphasizes the different 'theories of change' behind decarbonization.

We provide a Decarbonization framework which we hope will help instructors to a) build a strong syllabus, b) map existing theories of change (e.g., Kyoto, Carbon Taxes, Green New Deal), and c) provide a practical teaching element where students can trace their own theories of change.

Very excited to share this new tool for teaching the politics of climate change. What are the different *theories of change* that underlie decarbonization efforts and policies? Help your students learn about them. Please share widely. 🌎🔌💡🛢️
