We think this paper can contribute to ongoing debates about the relevance and political implications of class specifically and social identities more broadly, and how political actors and strategies matter. Hope you enjoy it!

Class identity (controlling for objective factors like education and objective class) still has political implications as well, but weaker than before, and these implications also depend on how political parties behave.

Har nesten aldri opplevd å få intervju til gjennomsyn, som regel får jeg bare akkurat de sitatene journalisten har tenkt til å bruke. Hva journalisten velger å skrive rett før og rett etter sitatet kan endre konteksten så mye at sitatet leses på en helt annen måte enn den opprinnelige betydningen.

Imponerende, spesielt når ruspolitikk har blitt så mye mindre sentralt i samfunnsdebatten de siste par årene. Tryggere Ruspolitikk gjør en fantastisk jobb, det er bare å melde seg inn!
Vi klarte det! 🙏🏻❤️🎆
Jeg har ikke det endelige resultatet, men denne grafen viser at vi klarte å slå fjorårets medlemsrekord. (Vi fikk inn flere etter at grafen ble laget!)
TUSEN TAKK til alle som er medlem i Tryggere Ruspolitikk. Dere gjør det mulig for oss å være ambisiøse også i 2026. Love you!
