🗳️ Populism is a warning sign.

English local elections show it again: People feel abandoned & look scapegoats.

Drawing on own research & others, I argue 👇🏽

💡 To counter populism: We need to reinvest in citizens, e.g. housing, health & dignity.

US researchers, help me out:

More and more of my European colleagues are in the proces of cancelling visits to your institutions. For reasons of both politics and safety.

What is your sense?

How do Europe best support you?
