Looking forward to discussing how to research the far right safely in academia at the @vox-pol.bsky.social report launch. The report is by @antoniavaughan.bsky.social, with the event hosted by @lizzypearson.bsky.social

35 years ago today, the German Democratic Republic ceased to exist and its territory was absorbed into the Federal Republic. If you want to learn more about the rise and fall of the GDR on this auspicious #TagderEinheit, you can check out my new book: www.bloomsbury.com/uk/german-de...

🇩🇪 German Reunification Day!

In 2020, I wrote about how Germany's east–west divide links to #AfD success. Today, the article remains relevant — but the AfD’s rise across Germany shows that this is not only an east-west story.

I remember that I came down with a stinking cold about 3 hours after arriving in London. Coincidentally, I have lurgy right now too✌️🤧

This time last year @lizzypearson.bsky.social and I were invited to the BBC to talk about gender and radicalisation for the Thinking Allowed podcast: www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

Hate to brag but I finally got my urgent NHS referral, ***checks notes***, 1 year and 1 month after it was first made...

I for one have been living a bit too deliciously recently and must return to my book next week. This chart based on motifs from the 2015 film The Witch is by thewitchystitcher on Etsy 🧶🐐

Book update - I am now 4 chapters in and having a little break this week (and maybe next week 🤫). My next chapter will be a short-ish one about my methodological approach which I'm quite excited about. For now it's a chippy tea and maybe more knitting.

Some of my recent masterpieces 😎 the Goya chart I found on Pinterest (not sure who the author is - let me know if you do), and the other two are from the online Antique Pattern Library 📚

Nothing like laying my own hands on my own book for the first time. Literally hot off the press 🔥🔥🔥

I am also working full-time and knitting furiously in-between having my dinner and falling asleep on the sofa at 8pm.

Hi to all new followers 👋 I'm not on here much atm but I'm squirreling away behind the scenes ✍️ I've just started the 4th chapter of my forthcoming book, and Julius Schneider and I are finalising our book chapter on the AfD's manipulation of crime stats for an exciting new volume due in 2026 😎

Some of my recent projects, all based on charts by saylessknits except the goats from WitchWolfWeb Creations on Pinterest 🧶

It's Friday, I'm now on A/L, and I've just finished this bad boi. Mistakes were made but happy that it's legible overall ✌️⛓️ will block eventually (as in soak in water and dry to relax the tension in the stitches)
