As a South Carolinian, I'm particularly sad to see this is the state of our politics. Goodstein has been associated with numerous high-profile rulings and this comes after she issued a ruling against Trump.

📣 New call for postdoctoral researchers!

We are seeking candidates with a doctorate in the social sciences for our research areas Political Economy (Prof. Dr. Lucio Baccaro) and Economic Sociology (Prof. Dr. Jens Beckert).

Please share widely!

We are thrilled to announce that our NEW Large Language Model will be released on 11.18.25.

At @i4replication.bsky.social it is our ambition to foster a replication culture in the social sciences – and we hence welcome if our approaches are replicated as well: Replication Games on using LLM in experiments, in Valencia and Oxford. talkingtomachines.org/projects/ime...

Yesterday evening, I gave my first invited talk at @economia-ibero.bsky.social. It was incredibly rewarding to present my research on protest policing in liberal democracies to such an engaged group of students. 👩‍🏫

Excited to share what we've been working on this Summer!

I do genuinely believe in quantitative and qualitative approaches to political science and am a strong advocate of mixed methods. That said, I've just used the magick package in R to make this novelty hat and am now accepting nominations for "least helpful contribution to methods discourse".

EPSA have announced that they will hold a conference in July 2026.

😵‍💫 We understand that there might be some confusion about EPSS and EPSA.

👉🏽 So we thought we would clarify some things.

A short 🧵

I’m excited to share that I've joined @uclspp.bsky.social to work on the AdJUST project — funded by @horizoneu.bsky.social and @ukri.org — focused on advancing understanding of the challenges, policies, and measures for a just energy transition in the EU. See you all in London (intermittently)! 🌱

Very cool, L!

🚨New article w/ @eborbath.bsky.social & Swen Hutter
Protest and the rise of left-nationalist challengers: evidence from Germany
📔 Social Movement Studies

In 2022, Germany faced a cost-of-living crisis.
Many expected a “Hot Autumn” of mass protest—but it never happened. Why?

My Google Scholar profile is live! Time to see those citation counts (hopefully) grow 📈😉

Wrapped #IPPC7! 🎉 It’s great to see how quantitative approaches illuminate policy behaviour and Chiang Mai has been a real treat. As ever, thankful to the people who got me here @standrewsir.bsky.social @elisaadamico.bsky.social and Nick Barnes. (Now, to the beach.) 🏝️

Had an amazing time at #EPSA2025 networking and presenting two projects: on conflict mediation with Kasia Houghton, and another on environmental protest and policy responses with @katelynnutley.bsky.social. Thanks to my discussants, Anna Lia Brunetti and Carly Nicole Wayne, for the great feedback!

Presented my matched wake analysis on the policing of partisan protestors in the UK at #EPSA2025 in Madrid! 🇪🇸

Research like this doesn't happen in isolation - deeply grateful to everyone who got me here, especially @standrewsir.bsky.social, @elisaadamico.bsky.social and Nick Barnes.

Want to easily scrape data from news media sites?

There's an R package for that!

paperboy

"paperboy offers writers of web scrap[ers] a clear path to publish their code & earn co-authorship on the package, while deliver[ing] news media data from many websites in a consistent format."

Really enjoyed presenting a joint paper with @katelynnutley.bsky.social on protests, parliamentary rhetoric, and policy outcomes at the Sustainable Social Policy Workshop, hosted by @lsesocialpolicy.bsky.social and organized by @liambeisermcgrath.bsky.social. Always grateful for the feedback ☺️

Just wrapped up #SICSS Edinburgh! Learned loads about social network analysis, AI prompt engineering & text classification. Met some phenomenal social scientists and hopefully we’ll have some research coming out soon on the Scottish Clearances! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🤓🤞

Having trouble finding a @uniofstandrews.bsky.social thesis template on @overleaf.com? I've got you covered! 🎓

github.com/knutley/St_A...

Originally made for @standrewsir.bsky.social but easily adaptable for other schools. Hope this helps fellow students! ✨

Want to know how many journals address gender imbalances and gender more generally in their guidelines? @katelynnutley.bsky.social has you covered in this new paper in @EPSJournal on 'gender and citations in submission guidelines of 102 political science journals' link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Just published by @standrewsir.bsky.social PhD candidate, @katelynnutley.bsky.social - "The discussion of gender and citations in submission guidelines of 102 political science journals" link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Are you interested in social class? I've two working papers which show:

1️⃣ Using actor recordings of different accents, that people derive class from accent and this causally influences trait evaluations

2️⃣ That class-based descriptive representation improves support for the political system.

🧵

Just had my first academic paper published on the gender citation gap — a big milestone made possible by an amazing team. Grateful and excited to contribute to this important conversation! Read it here:

Delighted to announce I've joined the Scottish Institute for Policing Research (SIPR) as a member! Looking forward to collaborating and contributing to policing research. You can find my profile here:
