I'm heartbroken to say we lost my brother, Steven Attewell yesterday morning after a long struggle with cancer.

I'll put personal feelings and thoughts elsewhere, but given his and my community here, I want to talk about Steve's political and intellectual contributions.

Is it possible to phase out coal and still win an election? Yes! Excited that my paper w Fergus Green & Mikel González-Eguino on the electoral success of #JustTransition policies in coalmining communities is now available #OpenAccess in American Political Science Review doi.org/10.1017/S00030…

🔥 new paper alert! 🔥

In our now accepted Journal of Politics @[email protected] paper, Tarik Abou-Chadi, Pablo Barberá, Whitney Hua, PhD, and I contribute new measurements and an analysis of parties’ anti-elite strategies.

The last paper of my dissertation just got published in Comparative Political Studies ! Jonathan Rodden & I compared urban-rural electoral divides over time across 15 countries, at the level of elections and individual parties. Check out our dataset and results here doi.org/10.1177/001041…

I’m thrilled to see this paper (with Thomas M. Meyer & Markus Wagner) finally published online Journal of Politics @[email protected]! We show that social group appeals serve as simple cues for voters, shaping their opinions on policies based on appeal valence and group affect.

A must-read by Linus Westheuser and Koen Damhuis for cleavage researchers and people interested in class analysis!

Just out European Societies: Koen Damhuis and I study how the divide between far-right and liberal-left ideologies is anchored in moral and class-based forms of common sense reasoning.
We also show what qualitative research can contribute to cleavage theory.🧵tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

How do voters react to different women's representation trajectories, and what does this tell us about progressive mobilization and backlash dynamics?

I tackle this question in a paper that was part of my PhD and is now out in Comparative Political Studies:

Great paper from Magda Breyer @mabreyer.bsky.social: '[...] The results show that a stagnating representation trajectory mobilizes women to vote for a progressive party [...].

In contrast, [...] men do not lash back against women’s increasing representation [...]'
