Quick reminder: I'll be at the @ecpr.bsky.social conference tomorrow and Wednesday morning if anyone wishes to talk about book proposals. Happy to talk to anyone interested in monograph publishing, turning a diss into a book, etc. Just get in touch!

Super proud to see this great paper published in such a good outlet! This was a chapter in @reidingerve.bsky.social 's excellent dissertation. And there's more much more where this came from. Keep your eyes out for her new work!

Do men see gender parity in representation as detrimental to their interests? What about when women’s representation exceeds parity? And how do such shifts affect men’s fairness perceptions? I address these questions in my article, now published in PRQ. 1/9

Received a complimentary copy of “Foundations of European Politics” after commenting on new chapters. Such a good textbook: clear theory, empirical evidence, and free interactive data exercises.

“When it comes to EU-level politics, mainstream voters strongly disapprove of their parties partnering with radicals and would-be autocrats.” @jbslapin.bsky.social & I in @politico.eu sum up our @jeppjournal.bsky.social article w/ M. Fenzl & @pitrieger.bsky.social www.politico.eu/article/main...

Mainstream Europarties should spurn radical populists

Happy to make my inaugural post on Bluesky one to promote Sarah's new OUP ECPR @ecpr.bsky.social book! Great work and happy to see it in print!

Sarah Engler @saengler.bsky.social · Oct 26

My book is here! Such a wonderful feeling to see it in print. While the book covers a group of parties that is very successful in the volatile party systems of Centr.&Eastern Europe, I learned a lot from studying these parties for party system change in general. A thread 1/10
