How are contemporary cleavage structures stabilized in times of declining mass social and political organizations?
In this new paper with @davidattewell6.bsky.social @bjpols.bsky.social, we suggest that homogeneous social (educational) networks provide part of the answer.

Vandaag zonder paywall. Mijn column voor De Groene van deze week. Over de politisering van de rechtsstaat en de linkse respons.
Het is een van de problemen in de cultuurstrijd: linkse politici gaan vaak het conflict aan op een terrein dat gunstig is voor de tegenstander. Impliciet nemen ze de tegenstelling over die het rechts-populisme ons voortdurend voorschotelt: het volk is rechts, de instituties zijn links.
Linkse politici nemen ongemerkt het frame van rechts-populisten over

Why do people with similar jobs or classes see inequality so differently? My new piece in @theconversation.com explains why where you think you stand in society is key.
Where you think you are in society (not where you actually are) matters for how you think about inequality
In countries where income inequality is high, those who feel privileged are often more supportive of redistribution.
