I have to admit that I have missed the streets of Amsterdam a little bit. 🥰

Today starts #ecpr25! ✨
On Thursday, you can hear me talk about how MPs' experiences influence and shape the representation of disabled people in German politics.

I should remember to only run models in winter so I can get better use out of this space heater.

Had a blast presenting yesterday!
I received very insightful comments.
Thank you to everyone who was attending. ☺️

(and to @favstats.eu for taking pictures where I gesture wildly)

For all the early birds at #IPSA2025 🐥
@bcastanho.bsky.social will present our joint work on age-based representation tomorrow!

Here is my (a little bit belated) mandatory #IPSA2025 post!
I will present tomorrow on disability representation and emotion!

See you there ✨

Picked some surprisingly sunny days to visit the Netherlands again. 😎 ☀️

🔹 Disability spokespersons spoke frequently about disability—but their engagement varied a lot.

At first glance AfD seems to be very representative, however in general MPs from the AfD talked way less than 10.000 words overall resulting in their proportions being higher.

🚨 First publication alert! 🚨
My first paper, based on my master’s thesis, is out! 🎉
With @michaelhunklinger.bsky.social & @lizamugge.bsky.social, we examine how people with disabilities are represented in German politics descriptively & substantively. 🇩🇪♿

You can't even search for furniture stores in Germany without encountering the west/east divide.

On my way home from the first MethodsNet Conference and I do feel really inspired!
It is also very nice to break out of your own method bubble for a while and talk to scholars using completely different approaches from your own.

And the second presentation within one week is over. Currently sitting in the train back to Berlin.

And I have to say I really enjoyed ECPG!

The calm before the storm.
Watch me present at 11am @ECPG ✨

I did not expect this picture suggestion from PowerPoint for my lecture slides.

Really enjoyed the IASGP conference!
A lot of interesting presentations and conversations.
It was really inspiring!
I now have so many new research ideas... 😂

Yesterday was the day when I officially got my master's diploma!
This symbolizes the end of an important chapter in my life.
Thanks again to @lizamugge.bsky.social for being an outstanding supervisor and for the support of the ups and downs of my thesis.

This is a view I can work with!
