& to my utter surprise, Göteborg is actually sunny 🌞 ! Did I move to the wrong side of Sweden, or is this just a PR trick to lure people to this beautiful city? (obs cheesy picture taken downtown from the tram)

Mid-January weather in southern Sweden is a mix of cold, humid & miserable. To escape it I’m heading to Gothenburg for much awaited FUDEM workshop on ”Envisioning (Un)democratic futures”. Not sure abt. better weather but I count on warm & enlightening intellectual conversations

In the Nordics, we're quite worried about what's next, in particular for Greenland. Some of that is directed as a concern for the prime minister of Denmark - however, with Denmark having elections this year, I am also concerned for electoral integrity, Danish democracy and the risks of interference.

A super short visit over the bridge to Roskilde university. It was actually the second time ever to visit the campus. I had a generative discussion abt. right-wing populism, retrogressive conservatism as alternative Europeanization process & how a gendered perspective provides a new research agenda.
