The second comment, by @garritzmannj.bsky.social, @siljahausermann.bsky.social, and @bpalier.bsky.social unfolds a (possible) critique of the idea of a unified, paradigmatic concept of social investment as such! doi.org/10.1177/0001...

3/ @garritzmannj.bsky.social analyzes the past, present & future of educational conflict, arguing the uniqueness of today’s divide is the breadth of the groups it sets in conflict, its links to group identities, and its spillover into almost all political conflicts. bsky.app/profile/garr...

Julian Garritzmann@garritzmannj.bsky.social · last yr.

I have a new paper out in @wepsocial.bsky.social: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.... The paper situates discussions about the Educational Cleavage in a longer temporal context (back to the Medieval time) to show that there have ALWAYS been conflicts between educational groups. (1/3)

@dpzollinger.bsky.social and I are thrilled "Cleavage Politics in Western Democracies" is out as an SI at @wepsocial.bsky.social! Its papers explore the foundations of the cleavage pitting new left against radical right parties, and how it compares to the classic cleavages of Lipset & Rokkan: 🧵⬇️

Hi bsky people - if you care about how the EU seeks to fund all things "social-ecological transformation", which institutional architecture has emerged out of it, and why it is both contested and an unrealized promise: please have a look at our special issue on the politics of sustainable finance 👇

👉 New comment out 👀 Garritzmann, Häusermann and Palier argue that the key problem of the ongoing debate is that scholars and politicians refer to social investment as if it was one single type of policy, whereas there are quite different variants of this paradigm. doi.org/10.1177/0001...

🚨 New paper in @thejop.bsky.social Why do politicians often misperceive what citizens' policy positions are? @simonotjes.bsky.social and I study ~10,000 estimates of public opinion by politicians in Denmark & the Netherlands to uncover the sources of these (mis)perceptions Thread 🧵1/10

The week ends with excellent news: the @dfg.de grants the renewal of our research group #RISS "Reconfiguration and Internalization of Social Structure" for a second funding phase! Thus, more fascinating research ongoing & more jobs opening up at @infer-frankfurt.bsky.social @goetheuni.bsky.social!

Thank you to all who joined us in Cologne this week for the 2nd Max Planck Summer School for Women in Political Economy! A fantastic line-up of speakers and participants, thoughtful discussions and global perspectives. Huge thanks to organizers @palmapolyak.bsky.social and @dustinvoss.bsky.social!

I'm super happy & proud to be able to work with this rock star group of a team (and academic guests)! 🧠🧠🧠💫🙏 @goetheuni.bsky.social @infer-frankfurt.bsky.social - and it's really nice to check out parts of Frankfurt that I hadn't been to as part of our team event

Amen to that

Trump: "We've got a lot of stupid people in this country running things."

"Social investments, in contrast, are usually still treated as one big box and as one supposedly coherent policy approach, which defies the complexity of reality and renders discussions unproductive"

Can we have 8 min of your time please? @siljahausermann.bsky.social @bpalier.bsky.social & I wrote a very brief reflection on why social investment might be a misleading paradigm. Way forward: please distinguish different types of social investments! More here journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

here's the 30-second version: There's 9 types of social investment - each has their own political dynamics, different normative underpinnings, & different consequences. By talking about social investment in the singular we risk comparing 🍎 and 🍊!
