Yay! Super enthusiastic about this project, and can't wait to work with @pavlosvas1.bsky.social, @annasanders.bsky.social and all contributors to put together this Introduction to Voting Behaviour!
Excited to have signed an editor contract with Oxford University Press for a volume on Voting Behaviour planned to come out in December 2027! We really hope this book will spark social science student interest in the discipline, especially at a time when democracy faces major challenges.

❗Among their electoral potential, social democratic parties face very few strategic dilemmas. Left-progressive appeals resonate most strongly.

New article out in World Politcs. We analyze how different groups react to varying programs of social democratic parties. We find less trade-offs than often assumed. Generally, more left-progressive programs increase support among social democratic potentials

In every writing process, there’s a time when nothing works.

When everything looks like a mess: No argument, no structure, no nothing.

If that’s where you’re, congratulations!
