We actually have a working paper on this 👀 Protesting increases people's positive emotions, which increases their willingness to protest again

We don't test (yet) how positive emotions can be increased, but I'd assume staying peaceful/creating good atmosphere helps

Next week Wednesday at 12.00, we welcome the fantastic @mrooduijn.bsky.social to Münster to talk about how narratives of empathy + tolerance affect feelings towards outgroups!

Join us with the link below.

The speaker series is organized together w @danbischof.bsky.social & @mwegemann.bsky.social

3 weeks ago I defended my PhD and it still feels a bit unreal! I am immensely grateful to Carl Dahlström and Johannes Lindvall, the best supervisor-team one could wish for. Thank you also to @sirianned.bsky.social for being such a sharp discussant. Below the first page of my acknowledgments.

I nailed my dissertation to the walls of @goteborgsuni.bsky.social today! You now have a couple of weeks to come by and find some errors before the defense in January ;)

We find that incumbents are electorally punished when they implement as well as when they withdraw unpopular proposals. Voters seem to care about the disclosed policy intention, even if it is not implemented. Effect sizes are substantial and last for years.

What happens when autocrats concede to protests? Our paper on state concessions and protest mobilization has an issue now!
