How do race and queerness jointly shape mass politics? @mfroman.bsky.social and I take up this question in new work I’ll present at @apsa.bsky.social, examining whether their associations with partisanship, ideology, and vote choice accumulate or partially substitute for one another. Friday at 8!

The Rainbow Vote now has a cover & publication date. www.therainbowvote.com 🗳️🏳️‍🌈 Please consider pre-ordering, or asking your institution’s library to pre-order! Insufferable self-promotion to follow but I am dutifully celebrating every milestone along the way to publication day in February 😎

Excited to present work with @payoub.bsky.social at APSA in Boston. We study a real-world disinformation event in which a Swedish far-right organization abused the visual identity of Swedish LGBTQ+ civil-society organizations to make it appear as though they support the legalization of paedophilia.

A good moment to recommend Angela Saini‘s Superior, which traces back the history of “race science” and shows the institutions that sustain this pseudo-research until today. These pursuits have nothing in common with the principles of academic inquiry www.angelasaini.co.uk/superior

Actually, one more - I feel like I should say this directly, so here goes. In the 90s and 00s, the groups I remember pursuing this strategy (hyperpublicize mugshots, Black crime statistics, etc) were Stormfront, the Klan, etc. Now it's the New York Times and the Telegraph. That is the story here.

Over the last few days I've watched highly politically engaged, educated people who are otherwise clear and careful thinkers attempting to litigate the obvious facts of the matter with respect to the late Arday's obvious layers of misconduct, taking their turn wheeling the horse into the gates. 11/

I just hope some people don’t now pretend to be surprised. I’ve seen people openly dismiss concerns about his mental health while continuing to obsessively kick someone when they were already down. I hope this makes us reflect on the values we want to uphold in academia.

Sheri Berman has been pushing this narrative for years. Without presenting any evidence. Ignoring all the evidence to the contrary. That's disappointing from a serious academic. But abusing the CSD attack for this narrative is simply appaling. Not in our name www.persuasion.community/p/germanys-t...

Germany Has Lost the Thread on Immigration

Last week’s terror attack makes that clear.

1/ Happy to share our paper 'Still Instrumentally Inclusive' w/ @turnbulldugarte.com in @apsrjournal.bsky.social. Understanding homonationalism remains important. Recent events (Berlin) have shown how quickly LGBT+ rights can become instrumentalized in debates about immigration and Islam.

Which immigrants do people prefer and why? Many point to skill levels, but @mfreino.bsky.social @isabel-ruiz.bsky.social and I argue people also consider the social value of work immigrants do, even if considered "lower" skilled. Open access in @ejprjournal.bsky.social: doi.org/10.1017/S147... 🧵

Being queer means being the target of violence. Every queer person knows this. It's deeply engraved in who we are. We live with it every day of our lives. Not because of terrorism but because it is structurally enshrined in our "free" societies. Violence against queer people is not an exception ...

New publication out in @epsrjournal.bsky.social! We know young voters vote for different parties and hold different attitudes than older citizens. What we know less about: whether they also care differently about political issues. Using novel experimental survey data, I show: they do! 👇

⁉️Do immigrant candidates get the immigrant vote? Many party strategists assume they do. But do they really? Short answer: Nope. And I have done the research to support this. Read more about why & why this is relevant for the upcoming UK local elections here: www.compas.ox.ac.uk/article/do-i...
