- Our paper "Right-Wing Populism and Museums" is out! It shows how European museums are navigating rising pressures from the far right, from direct interventions to subtle forms of influence, and how this leads to self-censorship, reshaping curatorial practices & the role of cultural institutions.

- Reposted by Julia LeserWe find that about 20% (!) of German adults believe in the strong version of the "great replacement theory"—that white majorities are being deliberately replaced by non-white immigrants in a secretive attempt by malevolent elites to undermine their own country
- 🚨 What is the "Great Replacement Theory" & who believes it? 🚨 In our forthcoming IMR paper, @jamesrdennison.bsky.social and I treat GRT as layered narratives, from demographic change to the elite plot. A representative German survey shows broad public agreement with several of these layers.
