Last month, I gave this keynote address at a wonderful workshop in Dresden, organized by @jakubw.bsky.social & @olivieroangeli.bsky.social

It is addressed to scholars and students working on, or interested in, the (comparative) study of far left and far right parties (in Europe).

🚨Who believes in the “Great Replacement”? In my latest article in 𝘚𝘰𝘤𝘪𝘢𝘭 𝘚𝘤𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘘𝘶𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘭𝘺, I show that those who subscribe to this conspiracy theory are much more politically diverse than commonly assumed, and that their endorsement cannot always be explained by extreme political ideologies. 👇

Looking forward to moderating Alex Kustov’s talk! His book offers thought-provoking insights on how democracies can win public support for immigration — a crucial topic, especially here in Eastern Germany, where migration criticism runs deep.

I decided to start a #thread 🧵 of stories about legal residents and tourists being (illegally) arrested, detained and/or deported by the Trump regime. I'll only post stories from serious sources, as rumors and conspiracies are really not needed in this authoritarian moment.

It’s finally here—just got my first author's copies of "In Our Interest: How Democracies Can Make Immigration Popular"! Excited for more folks to check it out.

And hey, even if my evidence and arguments don’t win you over, at least the cover will look great in any room.

If one person gives a euro to Ukraine, the result is €1.

If two people give 2 each, it is €4.

If 3,000 give 3,000 each, it is 9 million.

Ein lesenswerter Überblick zur AfD & der FPÖ, mit einigen Einschätzungen meinerseits: Die Gemeinsamkeiten zwischen beiden Parteien überwiegen, doch es gibt relevante Unterschiede (z. B. bei den Themen erneuerbare Energien & EU-Frage). @derstandard.at 📰

Attitudes on #migration steadily improved across Europe over time with just a slight setback after 2020.
Despite cross-country differences, age & edu are main drivers of opinions on migration.
