21 september is de Europese Dag tegen Islamofobie. Heel belangrijk om stil te staan bij moslimdiscriminatie, wat weten we en hoe nu verder. 28 september modereer ik een panel bij de @utrechtuniversity.bsky.social over moslimdiscriminatie. Meld je hier aan: ercomer.eu/2026/07/16/s...

Full circle moment for Mamdani: My research shows the severe bias voters have against Muslim politicians, a product of our post 9/11 world. Now NYC has a Muslim mayor and people are losing it over whether he can even come to the 9/11 commemoration. 🧵/relevant papers abcnews.com/US/george-pa...

WOW! JD VANCE: “We’re about to celebrate the 25th year” of 9/11. Sir, the word is COMMEMORATE. Nobody’s celebrating 9/11.

one way to think about what the fascists are doing to the humanities and social sciences is that it’s the same move naomi oreskes talks about in “merchants of doubt” when it came to tobacco or climate. the first step is to cast doubt on the consensus; you can even look cool and rebellious doing it

I'm torturing myself by looking up colleagues who added to the pile-on against Jason Arday. And learning that they are silent now. Often people I liked and respected. Here is some clear explanation on why to never add to a pile-on against a person. katemanne.substack.com/p/gossipy-ac...

If you want to give a fair and complete story about Jason Arday's death, it is essential to mention Nathan Cofnas' role in the allegations against him. How he left Cambridge and joined Ghent University is also essential Please mention the full story next time @nieuws.nos.nl nos.nl/artikel/2626...

Na plagiaatrel opgestapte hoogleraar Cambridge (41) dood aangetroffen

De Britse universiteit was bezig met een onderzoek naar de academische kwalificaties en benoemingen van voormalig hoogleraar Jason Arday.

Every single media outlet that has reported on Prof. Jason Arday needs to take a step back and reflect on their responsibility for what has happened. Every person to have chimed in should, too. Most importantly, Cambridge University should think about how they supported him.

This is the coverage of Arday **just in the Telegraph** in the UK. This is only the first four pages of results, just in one outlet.

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... 🧵

@imiscoe.bsky.social conference happened last week and it was lovely Had the pleasure to discuss papers from a super cool panel on the "integration" paradox (with less and less integration in there) and took with me inspiration for writing the last chapter of my dissertation (!!!)

Going to the EPSS conference in Belfast next week and I am following the news extra closely on the violence and destruction going on there right now. My heart goes out to all the victims. I hope people find a way of living together in peace and justice soon.

I think about this a lot when engaging with the media. Just because my research say, in my case, that voters discriminate against Muslim politicians heavily, does not mean that political parties should take my research and let it shape their choices. As academics, we should reflect more on this.

Zouden ze dit al geweten hebben bij Tata? Zodat ze met Donald Pols de milieubeweging konden verdelen?

⁉️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...

✨The research explaining the Muslim vote✨ The upcoming UK local elections on May 7th, once again, have many people debating what Muslims will vote. Most discussions take place without any knowledge of the existing research on the topic. With this thread, I aim to change that. 🧵

The European Political Science Review (EPSR) has published my solo-authored paper on Affinity Voting in Europe 🤓 In it, I ask: Do voters prefer in-group politicians? Answer: Sometimes, sometimes not. Minorities prefer their in-group less often than majorities do. 🧵 doi.org/10.1017/S175...

👍Very excited to see that my solo-authored article: "Surveying Minoritized Citizens: A Quantitative Study of Identification versus Categorization" has been published in Survey Research Methods✨ I hope survey researchers to reconsider how they survey group membership💪 doi.org/10.18148/srm...
