Every academic career is built on rejection, but we don’t show it.
CVs list publications, grants & awards, not rejected manuscripts, unfunded proposals, or failures.
But those invisible rejections shape us more than our successes ever do.

The topic is serious and the exchange is intense. For two days, 100 researchers gather at the WZB to discuss the "Future of Democracy?" at the 1st Annual Interdisciplinary WZB Conference. Thanks to all the participants for the lively debate.

La OCDE sostiene que, de media, una cuarta parte de las diferencias socioeconómicas se explica por razones impuestas o heredadas. En España, la proporción supera el 35%

Yet, the role of GBV, one of the most severe forms of gender inequality, remains underexplored at the individual level in shaping women’s migration intentions, as @irenepaneda.bsky.social has shown in her recent article for the WZB-Mitteilungen. bibliothek.wzb.eu/artikel/2025...

#Migration research has long been influenced by a male-centric perspective. Recent evidence explores a “feminization of migration”, with more women migrating as primary movers driven by complex factors — among them, gender inequality and gender-based violence (GBV).

But here’s the hard part:
When ideas are new, interdisciplinary, different, how we say them often matters as much as what we say.
That’s when the ‘voice tax’ kicks in: our voice struggles to be heard because it doesn’t sound familiar.
Not just due to novelty, but due to gender, class or race.

Voice is one of the most talked-about, and least explained, aspects of academic writing.
We’re told to “find it,” but rarely taught how to build it.

This from Joseph Brodsky’s Nobel lecture caught my eye yrs ago. The social scientist in me has toyed with the idea of designing a study to test causality here. Even if I don’t think it’s actually true, I wish it was in these times of rampant authoritarianism.

Great advice on academic writing by @catherinedevries.bsky.social👇 "I am a first generation scholar, suffer from dyslexia, write in a foreign language and often feel like a outsider in my profession — where let’s face for many being an academic is like being part of family business." Worth reading.
For some time, I wasn’t sure if I should share these reflections (as they aren’t my usual political takes).
So grateful I did & big thank you for the positive responses & DMs.
I’ve now expanded more on skill power & will continue to do so, here: open.substack.com/pub/catherin...

1/ As US colleges bring back the SAT, an old dilemma reemerges: do test scores reduce bias, or does focusing on “fit” quietly uphold class barriers? My research on class discrimination at elite firms sheds light. 🧵
