New paper out in @risjnl.bsky.social! 🚨

I explore the everyday foundations of structural power in the international system and advance a new theoretical framework that reconceptualizes the state as a mediator between the two levels.

Time for a short thread! 🧵👇

Do you like ketchup? Not only are you wrong, but you may be a fascist. Not really, but in my 🍅New Publication🍅 "Ketchup Is the Whitest Sauce", in International Political Sociology, I argue that memes about ketchup showcase Neo-Nazi solidarity.

"The end of economic hegemony? Studying economic ideas in a post-neoliberal world"

In the 20th century, debates on economic policy were closely tied to academic economics. From Keynesianism to neoliberalism, economic schools of thought have shaped historical epochs.
The end of economics hegemony? studying economic ideas in a post-neoliberal world

So, I recently had my first academic article published. It's called Property, Nature, and the Freedom to Roam, and it's open access. I argue for the freedom to roam and against the view that private property requires the right to exlude. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

This paper explores if people should be able to enjoy a freedom to roam, understood as the right of every person to stay on landowners’ properties, regardless of the will of the landowners. I make ...

Thrilled to have the first article of my PhD published in @cpsjournal.bsky.social. Focusing on Denmark in the 1910s, the article shows how democratic politicians use foreign revolutions opportunistically to attract voters. (1/4)

Happy to see this paper has found its home in RIPE! I address Hegemony Studies 3.0 and argue that contemporary studies of inter-state hegemony suffer from widespread methodological statism.
