Honored to deliver the 2025 Peter Mair Lecture at the Irish PSA @uniofgalway.bsky.social. I’ll reflect on why political science struggles with the far right today, and where we go from here. Peter, who began supervising my PhD in 2010, passed the next year, but his ideas remain a compass.

What is the liberalizing potential of higher education? In this @bjsociology.bsky.social research, we show substantial variation in the association between field of study and anti-immigrant sentiment — a pattern most pronounced among those with tertiary degrees doi.org/10.1111/1468...

Viktor Orbán's propaganda machine released a pseudo-report dismissing all Jean Monnet professors as "propagandists."

1. We're funded to study EU integration, not promote it

2. Many Jean Monnet scholars are among the EU's sharpest critics - including myself

3. Funding goes to universities not us
