Why are parties like AfD, Movimento 5 Stelle, or La France Insoumise so involved in street protests? Is it because of populism or their (radical) host ideology?
Come and find out at #EPSA2025 on Friday at 15:00 (0A.05) where I will present joint work with Bruno Castanho Silva!

📚✨ Last week CIVICA organised the #FamilyDiversity and Social Inclusion #Research Workshop at the @thehertieschool ! 🎓✨ Scholars and experts collaborated and shared insights. Check out some key takeaways! 📹👇 #CIVICA #AcademicCollaboration
I had a blast presenting a draft of my first paper and meeting so many amazing researchers at the PoBI conference, hosted by @EUI_EU @eui_sps and organized by @EliasDinas. Hoping to be back soon at the EUI. The view is almost as great as from Alexanderplatz!🌄

Let's go!🔥
I am super happy (see the photo) to have the opportunity to spend the next three years researching populist party-movement interactions with @kayserma as my supervisor. There is so much still to explore in that field!
Meet our new cohort of 2023! @leotschmidt is researching how populist parties interact with protests and whether they can profit from this strategy. He studies in the Doctoral Programme in Governance @thehertieschool with main supervisor @kayserma hertie-school.org/en/researc…

Very excited to share this analysis of the impact and outlook of 5 years of Fridays for Future that my wonderful colleagues @CarinaSiebler @Schuermann_L @dasalgon and myself just published on ECPR's The Loop!
The climate movement is changing but FFF still has a part to play.
