Absolutely devestated by the loss of one of my dearest friends, and one of the great political scientists of his generation. Philipp Köker was incredibly insightful, a generous scholar, and incredible friend. The world is a poorer place without him. rundblick-niedersachsen.de/politikwisse...

Since I first set foot into academia as a student research assistant, Philipp was there. Encouraging, supporting, sharing his brilliant thoughts alongside the funniest memes. He was one of the most genuinely kindhearted people I know, passionate about democracy, enthusiastic in all of his projects.

Devastating news.... Philipp was one of the first persons I met at a conference as PhD student (he shared so many advices with me about how this conferencing and PhD'ing works) and we shared the enthusiasm about Central and Eastern European Politics.

Data shows that women are less likely to apply for positions than equally qualified men (Muriel Niederle & Lise Vesterlund 2011), so if you’re considering it, please go for it!

It does not necessarily mean you have lower anti-elite attitudes unless you have a politician in your close circle. But it does seem to be correlated with higher efficacy! Please read the article for the full story ☝🏻

This is a small UK-focused extension of my main PhD question: what happens to citizens’ attitudes about democracy when they have contact with politicians? In the UK, this seems to be a relatively rare phenomenon with only 50% even having seen a politician in person.
