With my project IMMERSE I investigate whether immersive narrative interventions (storytelling, live theatre, video games and virtual reality) can strengthen support for liberal democracy by engaging people more deeply than conventional communication. See: www.uva.nl/en/content/n... 2/2

Er is geen vertrouwenscrisis, maar een betrouwbaarheidscrisis, zoals Tom van der Meer het altijd zo mooi zegt.

Insightful reporting by @cwarzel.bsky.social in @theatlantic.com

The #maga movement on X turns out to be rather ‘global’ in nature 👀 … that is many accounts operating from non US places adding fuel to polarized US politics.

After more than 10 years of “the Danish Model”, nativism is hegemonic in the country, the far right polls near level highs again, and the Social Democrats lost Copenhagen and poll at historic low.

European Social Democrats should look at the facts, not the myths!

🤩 Party positions in the 2024 European Parliament 🇪🇺!
I merged the CHES expert survey with EP composition data to visualize the political space of the current EP. The graphs make the center of gravity in the EP quite clear, on multiple dimensions and policy issues.
