I research democracy and anti-democratic movements.

The take-home message when I give talks about race science: “for bad science to persist, you need (1) a core of ethically or methodologically compromised people who are willing to fabricate data or create misleading evidence & (2) a larger group of people who are willing to promote these ideas”

„Ziel ist es, queere Sichtbarkeit anzugreifen und demokratische Grundwerte zu untergraben“, resümiert @researchjd.bsky.social im Zusammenhang mit den rechtsexremen Mobilisierungen gegen CSDs im Jahr 2025.

Auch der @tagesspiegel.de hat über die Ergebnisse unseres aktuellen Research Papers berichtet:
Schwerpunkt im Osten: Neonazi-Jugendgruppen stören immer häufiger Christopher Street Days
Einer Studie zufolge war 2025 jede fünfte CSD- und Pride-Veranstaltung Ziel von rechtsextremen Aufmärschen und anderen Aktionen. Ziel sei es, „queere Sichtbarkeit anzugreifen“, sagt ein Experte.

🎉 New publication 🎉 Why do #youngpeople vote for the #AfD? This question has kept our research project busy for quite some time, so I'm beyond excited that our first article - co-authored with @timonscheuer.bsky.social - is now out in #GermanPolitics! 🤩 www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

maybe AI shouldn't do "peer review" to begin with? I dunno; just spitballing here

It’s so much crazier than that. A woman appealed a lower court ruling for her ex-husband, pointing out the court’s order relied on 4 hallucinated or real-but-irrelevant cases. Ex-husband’s lawyer then files a reply to the appeals court with ELEVEN hallucinated or irrelevant case citations!
First time a judge has decided a case based on hallucinated case law in the US that I've encountered.

Will share this here now: due to some budget struggles at ISD, my position there is getting phased out. I’ll be on the hunt for full time work again come July. Not sure what the future will hold for me in the short-term, but please keep me in mind if you see decent openings and/or freelance work.

Deeply frustrating article. Also, I'm pretty sure Tate's own lawyer argues that Tate is playing a character and doesn't actually mean the most extreme stuff he's saying. Research on the manosphere which doesn't contend with the way it weaponises irony is genuinely worse than useless!

Got an Instagram account really late in the day so I'm just catching the tail end of discourses over there in ways that make me feel insane. Saw one post that began with "you might think vanlife is glamorous, but here's the reality.." Oh no, I actually never thought that about living in a van

Kurze Erinnerung: Die AfD findet IMMER einen Weg, sich als Opfer zu inszenieren. Das darf nie ein Grund für irgendwas sein.
