Honored to receive this year’s Thomas E. Patterson Best Dissertation Award in Political Communication @polcomm.bsky.social. Grateful to everyone who supported me along this incredible journey.

Since day 1 @nuffieldcollege.bsky.social, I’ve been plotting a workshop on the frontiers of authoritarian politics. The world, helpfully, has only gotten more authoritarian, making it more relevant by the day.

Big thanks to @benansell.bsky.social and all participants who made it a huge success!

“Trump Saves the Liberals” I can’t wait to see this title 🥶.

Tried Deepseek for the first time. Idk… feels like censorship to me… 🤷🤷‍♀️🤷🏽‍♂️

Still amazed that the word “Oriental” is so widely used in the UK.

Use my “Hello World” post for Bluesky to reflect on today’s wonderful lunch and coffee with @valentimvicente.bsky.social and his great, new, timely book on the normalization of radical right.

Thanks Vicente for generously citing my (unpublished) job market paper 😊.
