This week, @sophiemaier.bsky.social, @corneelwey.bsky.social, @khayyamrza.bsky.social, and Christian Lequesne, exchanged impressions about the impact of populism in contemporary diplomacy with members of the @nupinytt.bsky.social These are very nice opportunities for academic exchange!

The work continues! Around half of our PhD candidates are already in their academic secondment. @corneelwey.bsky.social, currently on academic secondment in Bath, went to @qmul.bsky.social for the workshop “Studying Populism as Discourse: New Directions”.

@sciencespo.bsky.social What is deeply troubling is the ongoing genocide in Gaza and the collaboration of Sciences Po with Israeli institutions. You deeply regret being adversely affected by a protest? I deeply regret that I'm being adversely affected by the leadership at my university.

@gwendolynrutten.bsky.social, "professioneel activisme" is echt de meest neo-liberale term die ik al in tijden gehoord heb. @bartschols.bsky.social stelde de juiste vraag, de rode lijn symboliseert onrechtvaardigheid. En dat, Gwendolyn, werkt u in de hand. #vrt #deafspraak @openvld.bsky.social

Some impressions from our IDEoPOP Kick-off Conference on the international dimensions and effects of #populism held @uni-freiburg.de on 17-19 September. The entire network met in person for the first time for an inspiring mix of poster sessions by our doctoral candidates, panels, and roundtables.

This week, I attended @ideopop.bsky.social first conference at @uni-freiburg.de. There, important scholars within the field of #populism came together to present their work. For the first time, I presented my research as well, with a poster that you can see here.

Every day another Palestinian dies in Gaza, a piece of liberal democracy dies with it.

@sciencespo.bsky.social launches their new Paris Climate school while silencing Palestinian activism? Israel’s carbon footprint from their genocide on Gaza exceeds 100 countries… Practice what you preach, the genocide is also an environmental catastrophe. #freepalestine 🇵🇸

I have no words left…

In this context, I underlined that Israel has the right to defend itself. Iran is the main source of regional instability. Europe has always been clear: Iran can never acquire a nuclear weapon. There is an urgent need for a negotiated solution.

Zero credibility left for the EU… Complicit in genocide, and nothing less than that. @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu should have stepped down two years go.

Just spoke with Prime Minister Netanyahu We are following developments in the Middle East with deep concern. I reiterated our commitment to peace, stability, and diplomatic efforts leading to de-escalation.

Israël attacks Iran completely unprovoked, and accuses them of violations it commits every-single-day. The political motive is clear: Netanyahu’s government is failing, and he needs war to stay in power. How can anyone still defend Israël to any degree?

The first six #lectures of our series on #Populism are now available online! Super interesting contributions on the different theorizations of populism and on how to measure it.

Former member of Israeli parliament Feiglin is calling every child and baby in Gaza an enemy. Stop this madness, 930.000 children are at risk of famine, 14.000 babies could die in the coming days according to the UN’s humanitarian chief, Tom Fletcher. This must end now!
