🎉 I am so very happy that I was awarded an ERC Starting Grant for my project BORDERS: Border Change and Local Development in Europe and Beyond. My (future) team and I will investigate the mechanisms underlying the effects of border change on development in historical Europe and worldwide. #ERCStG 🎉

I’m absolutely thrilled to share that I was awarded a Starting Grant (#ERCStG) of €1.5 million by @erc.europa.eu! For the next 5 years, I’ll investigate how to end vicious cycles in state-citizen interactions. I’ll regularly post news about the project & advice about ERC applications here. (1/9)

This August marks the official start of my new @erc.europa.eu funded project on youth & their conceptions of political power #YOPOW 🫅🏻 & with that I can also announce the 1st postdoc joining the team: @lisaherbig.bsky.social 💫 Lisa's skill and creativity make her a true win for the project 🙌🏻

Vicente Valentim, Elias Dinas, & I came together to do this paper because we have all long shared an intution: mainstream center-right rhetoric shapes democratic norms. The hard part? Showing it empirically. We make some headway in this new paper. Grateful to @bjpols.bsky.social for publishing.
