Bravo Dan and Chris 👏 👏 👏 I really liked that you also engaged with the notion of chauvinism, I think we don't see enough of that in the recent wave of empirical research on the far right (apart from welfare chauvinism, which is distinct).

Sure thing! There was probably little sense for PiS in keeping them in place. Yeah, we made a working paper public around February since it takes so damn long to publish (and journals also have paywalls 😖), so now I just linked to the old thread since the working paper finally found a journal home 🏠

Yes, thank you! I wrote this thread before April so I reported what was true as of then 👍

Thanks, Tom! Grateful for your feedback from Cornell through to the dissertation stage. You are acknowledged in both the dissertation and the paper! 🙏

Thanks, Ruth! My next dissertation paper will be definitely headed towards your journal. Just need to survive teaching new courses and the current R&Rs first 🫠

Thanks, Stu, you are an inspiration! Looking forward to Wednesday! ✍️✍️✍️

Thanks Alex, still way to go to match your publishing tempo, but this is a first step!! 😅

Thanks Klaudia, glad to see your work advancing too! 👍

Thanks Daniel, glad to bring more poli sci attention to CEE countries through this work 🤝

And of course, thanks for organizing @eepgworkshop.bsky.social where I could present it! I don't know if this is the first time EEPGW is mentioned in a paper, but we've included the workshop in the Acknowledgements. Proud to "graduate" from EEPGW together with that project! 🙏

Thanks Kriszti! We're really grateful for your extensive feedback and made sure to reflect that in the Acknowledgements 😉

Thanks Frances, I'm glad this paper got us connected back in Ithaca and I am sure your research will find its place somewhere close by! You can count on me to re-post ferociously 😇

Thanks Chris, and thanks for reading it and engaging with it already at the working paper stage! Hope to see you around in London 🙏

Thanks, Florian! Happy to see my dissertation work published so that I can dive into further projects at our @lsegovernment.bsky.social 🏄

Please follow my great co-authors @haasvioleta.bsky.social @tabouchadi.bsky.social @heikekluever.bsky.social @lstoetze.bsky.social and repost Violeta's threads 💫💫💫

Looking forward to learning more about it on Tuesday! ✍️
