🔹Right-leaning bots=more inaccurate

For anyone interested in (citizens' meanings of) voting, political participation, and the use of open-ended questions in public opinion research across countries 💡
Loved working on this with brilliant mentors, co-authors, and friends
📘 The book (open access) explores how people think about voting and how these meanings influence participation
📊 And the data’s open too via AUSSDA
A new open access (via @oxunipress.bsky.social) explores answers from 25,000+ people in 13 countries. Read here: ⤵️

I’ll present my co-authored research with @michaelimre.bsky.social on 50 years of gender representation in political science publications. We analyze nearly 100,000 articles across 72 journals to uncover long-term trends. 🔍

Hat die SPD die Arbeiter verloren, weil sie zu viel über das Bürgergeld redet? Unsinn, findet der Soziologe Linus Westheuser. Die SPD brauche ein völlig anderes Konzept. Sie muss bereit sein, sich mit den ökonomischen Eliten anzulegen.
