Thanks so much for organising this @rlachat.bsky.social and @rdassonneville.bsky.social! It was such a pleasure to spend the week with all these wonderful reseachers and generally nice people. Also thanks to all the (actually!) inspiring guest lecturers. Paris also helped, I guess 😉

Why are parties like AfD, Movimento 5 Stelle, or La France Insoumise so involved in street protests? Is it because of populism or their (radical) host ideology?
Come and find out at #EPSA2025 on Friday at 15:00 (0A.05) where I will present joint work with @bcastanho.bsky.social!
