TOMORROW at 13:00 we are hosting a fascinating talk by @jenny-oser.bsky.social on how to motivate citizens to participate in non-electoral politics. Register to attend: events.teams.microsoft.com/event/a3c4d4...

This summer term, our joint lecture series at @baltic-peripeties.bsky.social and @ifzo.bsky.social returns with "Democratic Challenges in Europe". For this term's programme, @oksanaalekseev.bsky.social and I invited 7 fantastic scholars to discuss democratic resilience, stability, and contestation.

I still can’t quite believe it – yesterday I was awarded the 2026 Heinz Maier-Leibnitz Prize by the DFG! ✨✨✨ I am immensely grateful for the support of all the colleagues and mentors who have accompanied and supported me on my academic journey so far! 🙏
