  3. 2/2 "...Or, as Arendt might have put it, we must share the world in common. Feelings like abandonment, fear, anxiety, shame, and love make us vulnerable to one another as human beings, and politicians find ways to exploit these vulnerabilities to their advantage."

  4. 1/2 "We all have a need for belonging. A lot of contemporary scientific research into loneliness treats the feeling of loneliness as warning bell that goes off internally when one doesn’t have strong social connections with others. We must co-exist with one another in order to survive and evolve...

  5. #Chomsky wasn't right about everything, but he did something others refused to do: think about power and politics, without reverting to institutional lies. 20 y/a, every international airport would have his books. Nothing today. It is up to each of us to continue the struggle against corporatism.

  6. I'm DEVOURING Anna Zivarts' book When Driving Is Not an Option: Steering Away from Car Dependency.
    People teaching public policy, transportation planning, public health, social work, sociology, political science, on and on--please assign this book in your classes! + buy copies to give school board, city council, other decision makers.

  7. #Civicbase brings upvoting and downvoting to preference measurement—but with a budget.

    Participants can select or agree or disagree buttons (up to 7 times) to allocate a limited voting credits (that carry over to future studies?).

    May reveal priorities that Likert scales and ranked-choices cannot.

    Presumably, this could be used for all sorts of preferences (beyond civics/politics).

  9. My first paper has been published. Together with Carmen Walenta-Bergmann (birdsite: @CarmenWB), we looked into the congruence of different social policy issues between parties and voters. We developed a congruence measurement and found that the congruence in Austria actually increases and that family policy follows a different path than other social policies.

  11. After some lurking, I want to #introduce myself properly.

    After training in #PoliticalTheory & #PoliticalPhilosophy, I'm now at the Institute of #PoliticalScience in #Leiden.

    I've worked in the history of #PoliticalThought & #DemocraticTheory, looking at things like the secret ballot & #CriminalDisenfranchisement, as well as #Polisci stuff like #EU #DemocracyPromotion

    My current work is on the #RuleOfLaw & #DemocraticBacksliding in the #EuropeanUnion

  12. Dear #polisci Mastodonts, whom shall I follow here for expertise on #peacekeeping and #stabilization operations, especially in #Africa? Feel free to self promote!

  13. #Introduction 👋

    I am a political scientist #polisci at the #EUI where I work as a Research Fellow in the #SOLID project. My research focuses on EU #crisispolitics, #politicalbehavior, public opinion formation, social #movements, & #protest.

    I am also interested in #researchmethods & #Rstats package development. I work with #textasdata for semi-automated protest event analysis, #surveyexperiments, and #QCA.

  14. If #deliberativeDemocracy theory is right, then we should expect to find a certain amount of #openMindedness (or preferences for it) in politics.

    This dissertation (discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/eprint/) seems to argue that we don't find it, "call[ing] into question the central role open-mindedness plays in deliberative democratic #theory" and making space to "explore alternative justifications for democracy’s legitimacy."
