Thrilled to share our new article "Banana Populism" published in Social Meedia + Society with @lanihart.bsky.social, @soschma.bsky.social and Mike Cole! We explore how populist leaders use mundane objects & whimsical imagery in political communication (1/7)

Right, there's something deeper about whether AI systems should persuade humans at all, or just inform? The "willingness" framing might miss that some AI persuasion could be fundamentally misaligned with human autonomy, regardless of topic.

cool, thanks for sharing!

The episode explored integration challenges and government funding cuts to integration services, while also highlighting our key finding: second-generation immigrants feel just as strong ownership of Finland as majority Finns, but through active participation rather than historical connection.(2/3)

This looks fascinating. @paologerbaudo.bsky.social is constantly a few years ahead of the curve in thinking creatively about the intersection of politics, media and culture - so he is one of those authors I always take seriously and drop everything to read!

I saw many presentations from the Hot Politics Lab at #ispp2025, and they were all so good! Great job to you and the team.

For our last session of the day, we're with Shawn Rosenberg debating the causes and consequences of the rise of right-wing populism.

Thanks to our fellows for all the thought-provoking and engaging questions! @polpsyispp.bsky.social

Awesome! So glad to see new episodes of the Slow Memory Podcast out. Can't wait to dive in and explore more on how we process and remember the past, especially those longer, more subtle shifts.

Last month, we presented our paper at the Migration and Societal Change Conference in Utrecht 🤩

It was an incredibly gratifying experience to share our findings and engage in such stimulating discussions with fellow researchers.
