#Abstimmungsschablone Secret ballot is fundamental to (direct) democracy. Yet until now the 377000 visually impaired people in Switzerland had to disclose their vote every single time.

In the upcoming referendum, a newly developed stencil will allow them to cast a truly secret vote for the 1st time

Rejection is one of the toughest parts about academia and this post provides some great guidance on how to deal with it (that I will start trying to follow myself).

Here's a couple of thoughts that the post triggered, if those happen to be of interest:
Every academic career is built on rejection, but we don’t show it.

CVs list publications, grants & awards, not rejected manuscripts, unfunded proposals, or failures.

But those invisible rejections shape us more than our successes ever do.

1st article from my dissertation is out in Perspectives today!!

two takeaways: a) knowledge economy 'winners' may not be subject to status loss but they sure care about status preservation & b) this is consequential for their attitudes re: immigration & diversity.

Thnx 2 all along this journey!!

Yet, we don’t train young scholars to fail well.

We praise resilience, but rarely explain how to build it.

Rejection is part of the scientific method.

It’s the friction that refines our thought.

🚨 New Working Paper with R.Bauböck + @sumpierrez.bsky.social

We introduce the concept of incongruent suffrage.

This describes when there are voting rights but no candidacy rights for a group. Or vice versa.

The paper includes descriptive data & exploratory case studies.
