Public Events and Academic Conferences
I regularly help organizing public events and academic conferences, and I enjoy presenting my work to further engage in discussions with others. For example, I have participated in events and conferences from the following groups and networks: Council for European Studies, European Consortium for Political Research, nccr – on the move, European Network for Social Policy Analysis, IMISCOE, The3million.
Recently, I organised the public launch of my book “Welfare Chauvinism in Europe” at SPUI25 in Amsterdam City Centre. The video from the event is available here. At another SPUI25 event, I discussed the results of the 2025 German elections and what role welfare chauvinism played in the election campaign.
