Twitter used to be a great place for researchers. Now it's X and a toxic place, a breeding ground for right-wing extremism, science denial, hate, and conspiracy theories. That's why I'm #eXit-ing this space for bluer skies elsewhere. See you there @aleininger.bsky.social. 👋🏻

I am super excited that my project "Residential mobility and the realignment of electoral politics in established democracies (RESPOL)" is among the 494 projects that have been awarded a Starting Grant by @ERC_Research. A big thanks to the many colleagues who helped me do this!

🚨 Job alert: (Postdoctoral) researcher (1 1/2 years, 100% FTE) in my research project on "Legacies of democratic transition. Explaining the success of the populist radical right in eastern Germany" ⏰ Application deadline: 5 August 2024. Please share. https://t.co/uUKvF5XmA7

Some random learnings from #epsa2024: 1. Beamer still more popular than Reveal JS/HTML slides 2. The coefficient plot has replaced the regression table 3. Remarkable is the new iPad 4. You can embed animations in Beamer/PDF slides 5. There used to be more food at the reception 🙃

At 10am @DaniSandu7 will present our joint work with Mark Kayser on emigration from eastern German and radical right voting. We acknowledge funding from Fritz Thyssen Foundation.

If you are still there tomorrow, here are two suggestions for panels at #epsa2024 on Saturday. At 10am, @felixgruenewald will present new results from our project on "Polarization through and in referendums" funded through an Emmy Noether grant by @dfg_public

You miss a website/app for @europsa ? Based on data scraped by @Ben_Guinaudeau, I published the program to Notion here: https://t.co/x1MkWhlLDZ It's very quick and dirty, let me know if you want me to add a specific view, let me know. If you use Notion, copy it as a template!

Kein Widerspruch: Offenen Brief für Recht von Studierenden auf friedlichen Protest unterschreiben Offenen Brief für Rücktritt von @starkwatzinger wegen abwegigen Prüfvorhaben unterschreiben Offenen Brief für Schutz von jüdischen Studierenden & Kolleg:innen unterschreiben 🤯

Well, this is a first. Painters at work during the workshop. "Multi-data perspectives on democracy" @gesis_org off to an interesting start (organized by @chitbazoo, Michael Bechtel, @A_Katsanidou, and @sziaja).

Man muss die Anliegen der Proteste nicht teilen, um das Recht auf friedlichen Protest zu verteidigen. Und man muss noch nicht einmal die Position des offenen Briefs teilen, um das Vorgehen von @starkwatzinger erschreckend und inakzeptabel zu finden.

This is a fun item, b/c "pure protest drives the far right vote" is a zombie idea that keeps coming back. Still, 2/3 of non-AfD respondents believe in pure protest, whereas 7/10 #AfD voters say they are motivated by ideology/policy #ep2024 #Germany

The #EP24 elections in Germany saw 28% of young voters (16-24) choose "other", i.e. small parties not represented in the Bundestag. Especially CDU/CSU and SPD did terribly. Matches prior @d_part research: young people are often interested but feel ignored by established parties.
