📣 MORAL APPEALS IN POLITICAL COMMUNICATION 📣
New version of @twidmann.bsky.social and my working paper answering:
* Have moral appeals increased over time?
* Is the tendency to moralize ideologically patterned?
* Are some topics consistently more moralized than others?

Excited to be presenting in shorts on this years' EPSA! 🩳

I'll be presenting joint work w. @fghjorth.bsky.social about geographical representation and commute time's effect on candidate supply 🗳️🧭

📍Friday 16:50-18:30 in room 0A.01

Zeth Isaksson @zethis.bsky.social · Jun 23

Alright, the most important (non-research-based) question of the year: Are shorts acceptable during presentations?

Checked Madrid’s temperature during #EPSA.

i) Skipped ECPR because August in Thessaloniki = death.

ii) Thought Madrid in June would be “pleasant.”

iii) It’s 39°C and I’m German—I was genetically engineered for 18°C and light drizzle. My wardrobe has no idea what to do. I might have to wear linen.

🧵1/ Are primaries bad for political diversity? Conventional wisdom says yes—but our article in @wepsocial.bsky.social shows that candidate selection modes are not necessarily a bottleneck for representation, at least when it comes to demand. 🗳️👥 @sandrahkansson.bsky.social

🚨 working paper (w. @morganlcj.bsky.social @markuswagner.bsky.social): Protesters are not judged equally - even if tactics of groups are similar.

We ran an experiment in 🇩🇪 testing how people react to farmers vs. climate activists blocking roads.

What we find is disturbing:

How do challenger parties—those without prior governing experience—gain access to executive power? In our paper out now in @thejop.bsky.social, @mvinaes.bsky.social, @jacobnyrup.bsky.social, and I explore whether simply holding legislative office helps them join government. Brief 🧵👇

#OpenAccess

BJPolS abstract discussing the impact of sexism and harassment on political candidates in the 2021 Danish local elections. The study evaluates candidates' perceptions and the corresponding risk of victimization, with findings suggesting stronger repercussions for women candidates, preferences for double job size, and implications for advised oversights in politics.

Nyt socialt medie, samme gamle rant:

Spotify har i fire år svigtet julestemningen ved at inkludere tre semi-kendte julesangsfortolkninger af Burhan G på spillelisten Julehits. Tilføjelsen af “Merry Xmas Everybody” af Slade er dog en formildende omstændighed.

The “science is always political” trope is very frustrating—at some level it is trivially true, but we can make science less political and that would be good! Highly recommend this essay by @stuartjritchie.bsky.social on this: open.substack.com/pub/stuartri...
