Happy to share that I’ve started as a Max Weber Fellow at the European University Institute @eui-eu.bsky.social this month!
The people are amazing, the architecture is stunning, and the food is delicious 🥐🍝🍕
If you’re at the EUI or in Florence and up for un caffè or uno spritz, let me know! ☕🍷

3/ ❓Why the failure?
Protest sympathizers held economically left + culturally nationalist views.
But no major party or union spoke to both.
Except... one 👀
➡️ Enter: Sahra Wagenknecht (not yet BSW)

2/ We combine protest event data 🪧 + a survey experiment 📊
What we find:
➡️ Huge sympathy for protest goals
➡️ Very little actual participation
➡️ Traditional actors (existing parties and labor unions) failed to mobilize

Protest and the rise of left-nationalist challengers: evidence from Germany
