OUT my paper on Euroskepticism in the IPSA Companion to Political Science.
I explore it as a complex concept, used both as a dependent and independent variable in the literature.
The handbook is a great teaching resource with ultra-short syntheses of key concepts.

Extremism expert Cynthia @milleridriss.bsky.social says misogyny is among the top predictors of support for political violence.

"I'm often asked, what can we do to prevent political violence?... What if we actually address something like hostile sexism or misogyny?"
