💐 We´re about to close the first standalone conference organised by the @ecpr.bsky.social SG E&D. THANK YOU from the organising team to everyone who made this event a success! 💐 @sajuria.com @stijntvankessel.bsky.social @profannikawerner.bsky.social @dafnoukos.bsky.social @leoniedejonge.bsky.social

"How it started" vs "How it's going".
@kai-arzheimer.com scraped info from the conference website to get a sense of what the members in our Standing Group are working on today. 😎

@kai-arzheimer.com dug into the @ecpr.bsky.social archives (with a little help of supportive staff there) to tell the founding story of our Standing Group. 🤩 Our SG was founded in 1999 by a "then very young" @casmudde.bsky.social & Roger Eatwell.

🥁 Next up, our keynote speaker for tonight, Prof. @kai-arzheimer.com! Kai has not only been an influential scholar in the field of Extremism & Democracy - but also a wonderfully supportive colleague. 👏

🔑 On Monday evening, before the conference reception, @kai-arzheimer.com will deliver a keynote speech on "A Quarter-Century of 'Extremism and Democracy' — Now What?". 🍿 (We are so grateful that Kai has agreed to do this on short notice & cannot wait to hear his thoughts!)
