Today, I am starting my new postdoc position at the @uniheidelberg.bsky.social, working in the "The New Climate Divide" project by @eborbath.bsky.social. I'm looking forward to progress my research and dive into a new project following my PhD!
We are hiring 2 PhD candidates at Heidelberg University to research individual-level participation, group formation, and identities around the emerging divide in climate politics!
For more infos see below or contact me - apply until 21. June!
Feels great to be back in my hometown for the conference of the Swiss Political Science Association! Looking forward to present my work on the competition between BSW and AfD in the 2025 general elections tomorrow morning.
For the first time I am launching my own personal website! This has been something I've put off for a while and finally got round to doing. If you'd like to keep up with my work go check out dinowildi.github.io
This was an interesting read that reminded me how often I've recently been frustrated by Swiss media describing the SVP in terms like "bürgerlich" or "conservative" instead, shying away from even "right-wing". Unfortunate to see other countries following us in that regard...
In Nordrhein-Westfalen wählen ziemlich gleich viele Leute AfD und Grüne. Medial und politisch geht es heute allerdings fast nur um die AfD und ihre Themen. Die "besorgten Bürger" die Aufmerksamkeit bekommen, sind die Anhänger der AfD. Wir sagen ihnen klar: es lohnt sich rechtsextrem zu wählen
With the official prognosis giving one additional seat to PVV and one to FvD compared to the ext poll, the narrative should really not be that the Netherlands/Jetten has beaten the radical right. The far right bloc remains remarkably stable.
