On Monday, @antonlucalecce.bsky.social organised a talk with EU professionals at @pwunifreiburg.bsky.social
After interesting discussions on the challenges the EU faces, students had the opportunity to receive advice for career opportunities in Brussels
Thank you very much to everyone involved!
At this week’s IDEoPOP colloquium, @simonkaack.bsky.social presented the first chapter of his PhD dissertation.
His work examines how populist leaders in India, Brazil, and Indonesia shape visions of the international order.
Many thanks for the engaging presentation!
This year we are celebrating!
We are proud to be part of #MSCA, named after a Polish-French scientist, who was the first woman to win a Nobel Prize, and the first person to win two!

This week, @sophiemaier.bsky.social, @corneelwey.bsky.social, @khayyamrza.bsky.social, and Christian Lequesne, exchanged impressions about the impact of populism in contemporary diplomacy with members of the @nupinytt.bsky.social
These are very nice opportunities for academic exchange!
Our PI @lesliewehner.bsky.social has recently published an article called 'Providing ontological security through analogies and metaphors: A leader approach' It explores the use of metaphors in ontological insecurity. Empirically it focuses on Nayib Bukele.

This week, some of our IDEoPOP members held a workshop in Freiburg. They discussed the progress of their PhD dissertations, methodological challenges, and different theoretical approaches to #populism and #foreignpolicy.
These exchanges provide a valuable opportunity for peer feedback!
Last week, @antonlucalecce.bsky.social participated in the Brown Bag Seminar at @pwunifreiburg.bsky.social, where he presented his research. It is very nice that PhD candidates can enjoy these opportunities during their academic secondments.
Thank you to the organisers and everyone involved!
