Very pleased to share this new paper with @LWestheuser. It is the product of an interdisciplinary collaboration and ongoing conversation I've learned so much from!

What's the difference between intraparty preference heterogeneity, disagreement and conflict? Why are some these bad for parties but not others? We (w/ Nicole Bolleyer, Geschwister-Scholl-Institut f. Politikwissenschaft) tidy up the field and provide first answers. OA European Research Council (ERC)

Very happy and grateful to learn that my dissertation was awarded the APSA Human Rights Section Best Dissertation Award. Great motivation to keep working on the book & another round of fieldwork in Brazil this summer

Really pleased to see "Party brands, issue salience, and electoral volatility" published in JEPP. I argue that if electoral volatility increases as parties become more similar, that logic applies to both positional and salience differences. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…
