This Thursday, we celebrate the retirement and work of Michael Minkenberg, one of the most underrated scholars of far-right politics. I will give an online keynote but there is also a great in-person panel with, among others, @andreapirro.it & @veghzsuzsanna.bsky.social

Really excited that after several years of working on it, revising, and getting lots of rejections, our paper (w/ Rune Stubager & Mads Thau) on citizens’ responses to group appeals is *finally* out @ejprjournal.bsky.social

A 🧵 on our findings...

🚨 Why do people protest against authoritarian regimes even when facing extreme danger? 🚨

In our new paper on Romania's 1989 Revolution, we find that communities exposed to the communist Gulag showed 5x higher dissent levels.

Der Oktober steht für einmal ganz im Zeichen meiner Serbienexpertise. Ich freue mich riesig auf diese Veranstaltung mit @akm-stiftung.bsky.social

Gemeinsam mit @krstorevic.bsky.social @philinebickhardt.bsky.social und @agashi.bsky.social fragen wir uns wo das Land 25J nach Milošević steht

Great experience publishing in @globcon.bsky.social
www.cambridge.org/core/journal... Fast, efficient & very helpful reviewer reports. Great interdisciplinary journal also for comparativists!

Our new article is out in Social Movement Studies!
We compare workers’ protests in Belgium, Bulgaria, Greece, Italy & Romania – from protest tactics to building alliances after Covid-19. It presents the first comparative data of workers’ protests since Covid-19, based on local sources.

Großartig liebe Theresa! Herzlichen Glückwunsch!

2/2 The book examines the strategic use of constitutional amendments to reinforce regime stability through a comparative analysis and illustrative case studies
of Azerbaijan, Mexico, and the German
Democratic Republic (GDR).

Something I have been working on is starting to feel real, the proofs of Constitutional Change under Autocracy have arrived. I could not be more excited! Publication is expected in early 2026.

Out now @socmovstudies.bsky.social: we introduce the concept of a "protest script" & demonstrate how video-enhanced protest event analysis (vPEA) helps trace a common script of the Italian and German anti-containment protests.

We've tried to do something better than the 'grey literature' standard with the GSoD report this year. We worked with some amazing designers to produce an interactive online report that enables the reader to see what's behind the summary data in the graphs.

Oh wie toll! Herzlichen Glückwunsch!

Herzlichen Glückwunsch lieber Sebastian!

🔔 Very happy to see our paper published open access on cleavage theory and civil society! 📖

We have tried to sketch a new research agenda, that I think has a lot of potential.

I very much enjoyed working on this!

Check Alex's thread below 👇 & read the paper: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

"Wissenschaftskommunikation ist Teil meiner Arbeit und nicht mein Privatvergnügen."

Genau deshalb muss der Umgang mit Wissenschaftsfeindlichkeit systematisch erfolgen und darf nicht an Individuen hängenbleiben. Auch wenn gerade bei kommunizierenden Forscherinnen die "Kritik" ad personam erfolgt.

If you prefer to listen to your books, the audio book version of Dictating the Agenda: The Authoritarian Resurgence in World Politics by me & @cooleyoneurasia.bsky.social was released today.

Get it wherever you get your audio books - Audible, Amazon, Apple, Storytel, your library, etc.

Zahlreiche Menschen haben sich 2015 spontan für Geflüchtete eingesetzt – ein beispielloser Moment zivilgesellschaftlicher Mobilisierung. @claraberg.bsky.social hat für ihre Dissertation erforscht, wie sich solches Engagement verstetigen lässt.
