🚨I have an opening for a PhD position (4-year) in my team at @IPZ_ch starting Jan 1, 2024. Join our vibrant research environment in the department and at @UZH_en in beautiful Zurich, Switzerland! Focus of the position is on studying the #digitaltransformation of politics.
Last week I successfully defended my dissertation on “Digital Adaptation in Autocracies” at @UniKonstanz 🥳. I am truly grateful for the endless support I received along the way. Many thanks to my committee @nils_weidmann, @gabi_spilker and @karstendonnay.
Thrilled to announce that our article “Protest and digital adaptation” is now available @Res_Pol journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.…
@nils_weidmann and I show that citizens in autocracies adapt digitally to protest events on the ground by relying on the Tor encrypting network.
The reliance on the Tor network is even more pronounced in countries where the censorship of social media content is more common.
