Two fantastic days of the annual conference of the #AKWahlen are now behind us.

Many thanks for the many excellent presentations, the friendly atmosphere, and to the local Berlin team for the fabulous organisation on site! ❤️

Watch out for the special issue in @electoralstudies.bsky.social!

Excited to announce the publication of my article in Comparative Political Studies on how crises shape the ideological legitimation strategies of authoritarian regimes. journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

How do parties shape which issues are perceived as part of GAL-TAN?

In my paper presented at the ECPR General Conference in Thessaloniki, I delve into this question, focusing on climate change and LGBTQ rights.

Thank you @ecprpovb.bsky.social for a great section!

Sexism isn't just driving support for the radical right — it shaped vote choice across the board in #btw21 🗳🇩🇪

Our new research shows how different forms of sexism influenced sympathy for chancellor candidates and party choice.

(Spoiler: not just the AfD!)

Had an amazing time presenting my paper with @dianaluciahofmann.bsky.social at the ECPR Joint Sessions 2025 in Prague as part of the workshop on Conspiracy Narratives & Mentality.

Many thanks to @akueppers.bsky.social and @rheinisch.bsky.social for the great organization of the workshop!

Call for papers for the 11th Annual Conference of the Austrian Political Science Association, University of Salzburg, September 25/26, 2025. Come visit us in Salzburg and present your research!

Go to www.oegpw.at/conference/ for more information and to submit your proposals.

As in other countries, the far right with strong gains among the young. The idea that far right support is largely driven by authoritarian older voters against the progressive younger ones is being refuted in every election at the moment.

Pretty typical result for elections in the past years. All government parties are predicted to loose, SPD and FDP with massive losses. Merz is going to be the next Chancellor. Big question with what coalition - which is going to be determined by FDP and BSW making it above 5% or not.

Excited to co-chair the section on Demand-side Approaches together with Andrej Zaslove at the E&D Standing Group conference.

Also check out the Policies and Government Actions section co-organised by @robert-a-huber.bsky.social.

We look forward to your submissions!

Together with Fred Paxton, I am excited to contribute to the organisation of the Policies and Government Actions section. My excellent PhD student @annikaschuster.bsky.social co-organises the Demand-side Approaches section. We look forward to your submissions! Check out the call: ecpr.eu/Events/322
