@dpzollinger.bsky.social and I are thrilled "Cleavage Politics in Western Democracies" is out as an SI at @wepsocial.bsky.social!

Its papers explore the foundations of the cleavage pitting new left against radical right parties, and how it compares to the classic cleavages of Lipset & Rokkan:

Nice chart from @ourworldindata.org showing the contrast between what Americans die of (heart disease and cancer) v what the US media reports on (homicide and terrorism). This naturally leads to it being trickier to build a fact based world view

Note: Based on the share of causes of death in the US and the share of mentions for each of the causes in the New York Times, the Washington Post and Fox News. All values are normalized to 100%, so the shares are relative to all deaths caused by the 12 most common causes + drug overdoses, homicides and terrorism. These causes account for more than 75% of deaths in the US.
A "media mention" is a published article in one of the outlets which mentions the cause (e,g. "influenza) or related keywords (e.g. "fu") least twice.
Data sources: Media mentions from Media Cloud (2025): deaths data from the US CDC (2025) and Global Terrorism Index.|

El autoritarismo neofascista aleja a las personas de la promesa de democracia, paz e igualdad y las lleva hacia la violencia destructiva ofreciéndoles un atractivo clave: la alegría de hacer daño al otro

WE WANT YOU! 🫵

The call for a new editorial team for the EJPG is now open❗
The mandate of the journal's sitting stellar team led by @jennpiscopo.bsky.social & @payoub.bsky.social will come to an end in July 2026.

📆 Applications must be received by November 23rd

Details of call here: rb.gy/lqidii

Application deadline: 23 November 2025

The Editorial Management Board of the European Journal of Politics and Gender invites applications for the editorship of the journal to run for a period of three years from July 2026, with the possibility of renewing for a second two-year term. The European Journal of Politics and Gender (EJPG) is a peer-reviewed journal that publishes international, cutting-edge research in the broad field of politics and gender.  The journal has an Impact Factor of 2.3, ranking in the top quartile of both Political Science and Women’s Studies journals. The journal understands research in ‘politics and gender’ to include both gender and LGBTQIA+ politics. The new editorial team is expected to continue the journal’s LGBTQIA+-inclusive approach to gender and politics scholarship. 

The current Lead Editors, Phillip Ayoub and Jennifer Piscopo, are stepping down with their Associate Editor team in July 2026. We are looking to appoint a team of two to three new Co-Lead Editors to shape the journal. The newly appointed Co-Lead Editors may work alongside one of the outgoing Lead Editors for a period of several months to ensure a smooth transition.

When writing this we did it with the hope that it wouldn't remain an ever-green comment on the state of the Labour Party.

For a brief moment during Starmer's conference speech I became more hopeful. As Starmer talks about Labour's latest radical right policy today, I've corrected myself.

🚨 New publication out @jeppjournal.bsky.social w/ Katrin Praprotnik @luanarusso.bsky.social @markuswagner.bsky.social

We show that coalition signals from the mainstream right to the radical right shift, rather than reduce, existing political divisions.

Thanks Joanna - it's been through a few iterations!

A question that emerges from this is: does the anticipation of these gendered penalties (which men and women are aware of) explain the significantly lower level of bisexual identifying men?

Data collection ongoing :)
turnbulldugarte.com
Importantly these effects cannot be explained by bi-erasue, biphobic stereotypes about promiscuity, or by straight men's fetishisation of bi women

Public inclusion ≠ Private inclusion

Even in liberal societies and among traditionally core constituency allies of LGBTQ+ progress, intimate spaces remain important arenas where gender norms against men are enforced.

Men too are victims of the patriarchy.
turnbulldugarte.com
Why?

Sexually inclusive men are often perceived as less “gender-congruent” (less manly), triggering social sanctions—even among otherwise socially liberal groups like left-identifying women
turnbulldugarte.com
When it comes to their own romantic choices, sexually inclusive individuals face a substantial dating penalty. The penalty against men is much greater than the penalty is against women

This is true across all three experiments
turnbulldugarte.com
I use three preregistered experiments to test whether heterosexuals penalise sexually inclusive individuals when choosing romantic partners.

1. Double-list experiment (🇬🇧 & 🇪🇸)
2. Visual conjoint (🇬🇧 & 🇪🇸)
3. Vignette study (🇬🇧)
turnbulldugarte.com
Young people increasingly identify with sexually inclusive identities — 1 in 5 Gen Zers do.

Even if you are straight, the chances of you encountering a potential partner that identifies as non-heterosexual (or engages/has engaged in queer behaviour) is not low.

Still confused about EPSA vs. EPSS? Which conference should you go to? Here is a link to clarify things: epssnet.org/uncategorize... TL;DR: "EPSA" community will be in Belfast. Same community, new organisation, bigger mission; slightly new name; and a very different foundation @epssnet.bsky.social

Come for the argument, stay for the nice data viz! 🤓

Providing a progressive social democratic alternative to the far right & being a social democratic party in power are not mutually exclusive, despite what Starmer might currently think.

In a world full of Keirs, be a Pedro.
