🎉 Proud of @sharonvangeldere.bsky.social for presenting the pre-analysis plan of her first paper @uva.nl yesterday! She shared her work at an inspiring workshop on bridging communication & interest group research. Big thanks to @marcelhanegraaff.bsky.social for the invite!

6 months into this mess 💔 Seems like an appropriate moment to share this 🕊

Proud supervisor moment when our master student Leah Beekhuizen received this year's Faculty of Governance and Global Affairs thesis prize @unileiden.bsky.social.

Leah investigated the effect of the presence of radical interest organizations on the public support for moderate organizations (1/2)

It was really great to have @hayleekelsall.bsky.social over at our institute this morning! Haylee shared some very interesting insights on affective polarization and its consequences. We learned a lot 🤓. Thanks, Haylee 🙏

@isabellareb.bsky.social absolutely rocked her defense today 🔥 It was so incredibly impressive and one of the best defenses I've seen. Many congratulations, Isi and proud supervisors @gijsschumacher.bsky.social @mrooduijn.bsky.social! Ps. had to shed a little tear during the laudatio 🥹

We find that such engagement has no systematic effect on internal political efficacy but has robust positive effects on political support. 2/
