I'm thrilled to see @ammassarisofia.bsky.social, Ferran Martinez i Coma & I have won over $825,000 in funding from the Australian Research Council for our Discovery Project "Generation-Z engagement with political parties".

(When you're recovering from drinking Lima tap water, this helps a lot).

Having won this last year, there are few people I'd be happier to see take the title than Ben Moffitt - a truly world-class researcher and a nice guy too!
Rather gobsmacked & honoured to find that I have been named Australia's top researcher in political science by The Australian!

And if that's still too long to read, here's a recent thread by Josh about our study:

🎉 New publication out in @poppublicsphere.bsky.social with @duncanmcdonnell.com and Michelle Evans!

We expected public bias to work against aspiring Indigenous political candidates in Australia. Instead, we found the opposite - an 'inverted hierarchy' of bias.

I didn't have “walking back from the supermarket into the middle of Kaiser’s rally” on my agenda for this evening in Santiago…

That's so annoying.

I have a grumpy middle-aged man theory that general rudeness in terms of not replying to emails and/or not showing up has increased since Covid (and from people of all ages).

It was a pleasure to give a seminar at the Universidad Privada Boliviana in Cochabamba last Friday about our research (w/ @duncanmcdonnell.com) on the transnationalisation of the populist right.

Thanks to Oscar Gracia Landaeta, Andrés Laguna-Tapia & Claudia Muriel for being excellent hosts 💕
🎆 NEW OA ARTICLE ALERT 🎆

'Populism, visual technologies, and the self-mediation of ‘the people’ from the 2002 Venezuelan coup to the 2021 US Capitol riots' in @risjnl.bsky.social

How do populist publics visually represent themselves & how have shifts in visual technologies altered this process?

Tomorrow at UPB in Cochabamba: our final presentation of what has been an excellent South American fieldwork and seminars trip.

I'm looking forward to meeting the faculty and students, seeing a new city, and being at a lower altitude than La Paz for a couple of days.
All good things come to an end 🥲

The last seminar of our South American trip (w/ @duncanmcdonnell.com) will take place at Universidad Privada Boliviana in Cochabamba, this Friday.

Looking forward to further exchanges about the transnationalisation of the PRR with UPB students and colleagues!

It was a pleasure to present today at PUCP in Lima with @ammassarisofia.bsky.social about our research on the transnationalisation of the populist radical right.

Great audience participation & such impressive students too.

Now we have a couple of much needed days off and then move on to Bolivia!

Not at all! The first thing I'd be doing after they confirmed the flights is getting on to 'manage my booking' to make sure I had the seat I wanted.

Coming up tomorrow, at PUCP in Lima:

Grazie!

Thanks Nacho!

Thanks Ben!

Thanks Stefano!

Grazie!

Thanks Cas!

Grazie Gabriele!

Coming up next Thursday at noon in Lima: @ammassarisofia.bsky.social & I will be presenting our research on the transnational populist right at Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú.

I'm looking forward to good discussions and the local ceviche.

(states of emergency etc. permitting, of course).

It was. Not sure whether, overall, it was a better experience than the Flamengo home game a few weeks ago. But definitely worth it.

And, in a few hours, I'll know if it's been a perfect football weekend...

Next time.

And I also want to go to La Monumental (which, to my surprise, was across the road from the Torquato di Tella university where we did a seminar the other day).

Basically, all things considered, I need to come back to this city for at least a month.

La Bombonera yesterday evening.

I’ve been to lots of big games, including all 4 Italian derbies, but I’ve never seen a curva like that. Constant singing for 90 minutes, even when Boca conceded goals. Just amazing.

Our very talented PhD researcher @fravittonetto.bsky.social has just published his first article. His supervisors are immensely proud!

In the thread below, Francesco goes through some of his main findings.

There's much more to come from this project and this rising star!
Thrilled that my first (ever!) and first single-authored article is out in @ausjpolsci.bsky.social 🎉

PRR parties have built a shared transnational discourse on issues like immigration & culture wars. But do their digital publics also take part in this discursive transnationalisation?

What @ammassarisofia.bsky.social says ⬇️

Really impressive set-up & group of people at Torcuato Di Tella.

And they're right across the road from the Estadio Monumental!
