Proud that my piece on respectability is officially out at APSR. It’s open access!
The piece matters a lot to me bc it reflects my strong belief that Black people’s political & social lives warrant deep study & deserve their place in our field’s “top” journals.

So excited to work with the super smart and super fun @hannaeback.bsky.social @robertklemmensen.bsky.social for the next three years! Stay tuned to find out how elite affective polarization leads to legislative gridlock and slower response time to national crises. 👀🧐🤓

Project summary below. #ERCStG
Juicy scandals can break a coalition. “Who cares?” You may ask. Well, the brilliant Ida Hjermitslev and I showed that the ensuing sh*tstorm - the termination - reduce citizens’ satisfaction with democracy. See 👇🏼

New ERC StG. Eternal thanks to my husband @samkschi.bsky.social, my academic friends and colleagues @comppollu.bsky.social and Gothenburg, & @lunduniversity.bsky.social research services - John Philips, Kerstin Gidlöf, and Carl Lagerqvist!
This would be impossible without supportive colleagues 👇
