finally posting about this here as well: I have successfully defended my dissertation this Monday 🤓

with a stellar committee @lucykinski.bsky.social & @rheinisch.bsky.social and my lovely supervisors by my side @jessfortin-ritt.bsky.social & @nzwiener-collins.bsky.social 🤍

onwards and upwards now!

behind the scenes are what feels likes hundreds of boxes 📦, one upside-down bike 🚲, and roughly 1200km courageously driven by my dad

closing one chapter in Salzburg and opening a new one in Amsterdam 🇳🇱

super excited to join @lizamugge.bsky.social’s Politics of Diversity group @ @aissr.bsky.social as a postdoc and work on the “Political Masculinities in Europe” project 🤓

and look at the view 😍

concluding my summer tour of Germany at the @gesistraining.bsky.social summer school to (finally!) learn about conjoints from @phanxi.bsky.social and @lukrudolph.bsky.social
🤓

We (@matildecer.bsky.social @nzwiener-collins.bsky.social and I) pulled off our small but mighty workshop, bridging boundaries between gender x politics subfield and quantitative methods 👧🏻📊

So grateful to @lmumuenchen.bsky.social and Fritz Thyssen Stiftung for making it possible 🤓

day 1, the vibes continue to be impeccable

@allisonwkoh.bsky.social is walking through using functions in R 💻

on my way to Bremen with spezi and the most beautiful booklet I’ve ever seen 🥹

(there is a even list of specialty coffee locations!)

That’s a wrap on Joint Sessions 2025 ✨

thanks to Nadine and Maike for having Lara and myself in their workshop on political culture, where I could present our joint work on drivers of hostile sexism in Europe 👀🏡💶

@ecpr.bsky.social

working at the Uni Salzburg means privileged access to copies of this exciting book 📕😎

congratulations to Robert, Michael and a wonderful team of authors, I cannot wait to read it!

CEU hosting Tag der PoWi this year ✨ what a thrill to be in Vienna for the 10th annual conference of the Austrian Political Science Association!

so lucky to be at @aripollservent.bsky.social Antrittsvorlesung and get a rundown of 30 years of EU policymaking on migration 🤓

Nordic countries have completely won my heart over this year: a little weekend in Aarhus and on Thyholm provided much needed inspiration 🇩🇰🤓
