Last week, I successfully defended my PhD thesis on how citizens form coalition preferences! Many thanks to my committee, Sascha Huber, @kai-arzheimer.com, and @arminschaefer.bsky.social, and to my great colleagues at @powimz.bsky.social and beyond. Very happy!

🚨 🚨 🚨 new publication (with @antonialang.bsky.social) klaxon!!! Over the past decade, scholars have increasingly turned to “place” as a key factor in political behaviour — particularly on the far right, in Europe & the US. Urban-rural divides are especially intriguing. But are they true cleavages? 🤔

Excited to present a new working paper by @victoriahaerter.bsky.social, @dweisstanner.bsky.social, @saengler.bsky.social &myself @unimainz.bsky.social!

Travelling back from picturesque Lund, where I gave a talk on the widening education gap in satisfaction with democracy — and had a great time. Thank you for the invitation, @jesperlindqvist.bsky.social and @jonathanpolk.bsky.social!
