I am happy to share that I will be joining the University of Heidelberg as Junior Professor for Political Participation Research from February👨‍🎓🧐. I am really looking forward to meeting my new colleagues, new students, and being in such a green city surrounded by mountains!

How do voters behave in democracies with unstable parties? In a newly published article in Party Politics, @rpcward89 and I examine South Korea, a textbook case of an “ephemeral party system.” The article is Open Access.

To underscore its importance, my new article w/ @fredstaffordcs came out on the day of the huge Iberian blackout. We argue the left/liberal's fixation on increasing renewables often downplays (or rejects) how grid reliability must be central to any winning electricity politics.

This paper has been in the making for so long that eight children across the co-author group were born between the time we started and now! But it is finally out, and you can check it at arxiv.org/pdf/2503.13323

Why do some European labor unions engage in workplace strikes while others use public protests? @gesine_holtmann, @eborbath & @ swenhutter show that the choice of method depends on the broader institutional context. doi.org/10.1093/ser/mw… #SER @OxfordJournals
