Stoked to see a beloved side project finally come to completion. Today, I submitted my #Querdenken dataset (N= 4748). Available soon via @dprex.bsky.social for scientific reuse. Big thanks to @marlenehilgenstock.bsky.social for the great support. Looking foward seeing the findings it might generate.

In a joint project with @sehaunss.bsky.social, we will analyze how social policy outcomes in Africa influence political contention and nonviolent political conflict. This involves a large protest events analysis of a large set of African countries using multimodal data.

We will be hiring new PhD students interested in social movements and protest in Africa, soon. Keep your eyes open for job openings 🪧
