New paper on agonistic workplace democracy 🚨
Workplace democracy is too often viewed as peaceful & deliberative, while implicit hierarchies from within & without the workplace skew interactions. We must acknowledge conflict to dismantle these hidden inequalities.

All it takes is people who aren’t cowards and take their oaths seriously. Sadly, too much to ask for far too many.

Back from my winter holidays (happy 2026!) and reflecting on 2025 professionally, I realize @sotonpolitics.bsky.social, led by @piariggirozzi.bsky.social is still the best department to work in. Still supportive and still wonderful! 💜

Our new study shows that people are more likely to support policies, even if they involve personal costs (!), when diverse stakeholders are actively included in decision-making.

Feelings of financial insecurity are costing Labour support. And, if this budget doesn’t help people feel less worried about finances, Labour will lose more votes on its handling of the national economy AND on immigration too. Financial insecurity is *compounding* losses on other issues/evaluations.
