Why did antisemitism rise in Germany during the Covid pandemic? And why was this increase concentrated among political centrists, rather than on the fringes? doi.org/10.1017/S153... @kanol.bsky.social @wzb.bsky.social @uni-hamburg.de @politikuhh.bsky.social @socfub.bsky.social

🎉Excited to share our forthcoming paper in POQ! And don’t worry—it’s not all about our mums 😉. With @lenkahrbkova.bsky.social and @matejjung.bsky.social, we ask: did younger generations in post-communist Europe develop more conventional left–right belief systems? Tl;dr: not really. (🧵)

Organized by the Eastern Europe as Laboratory of Change Working Group, this roundtable event features a discussion on the recent Hungarian general elections.

Last week, after four incredible years, I defended my dissertation and was awarded a PhD in Political Science from the @eui-eu.bsky.social. It was a really special moment surrounded by family and friends, both old and new. Thank you to everyone who came to the defense and supported me along the way.
