Tentative support for preconceptions 🤔 These authors 🧵 look at variations in mass attitudes towards the Russo-Ukrainian War using two types of survey data, finding that top-down models of #PublicOpinion may better explain variations of attitudes across a country buff.ly/j12fNJ5

I am also really excited to say that, from August, I will be joining the @watsonschoolbrown.bsky.social as a Postdoctoral Researcher working with some brilliant colleagues at the @climatesollab.bsky.social. I can't wait to get started!

Max Bradley @maxbradley.bsky.social · 10/06/2026

I want to thank committee members @fgenovese.bsky.social and @ainagallego.bsky.social for their really insightful and challenging questions. And I especially want to thank my supervisors @filipkostelka.bsky.social and @simonhix.bsky.social for their guidance and support over the years.

Last week, after four incredible years, I defended my dissertation and was awarded a PhD in Political Science from the @eui-eu.bsky.social. It was a really special moment surrounded by family and friends, both old and new. Thank you to everyone who came to the defense and supported me along the way.

🚨I have a new paper out in PNAS with my co-authors, @maxbradley.bsky.social @renschazottes.bsky.social and @ninalopezuroz.bsky.social: "Educational policies can strengthen climate coalitions." A thread on what we found (and a great story about doing ambitious research without funding!) [1/9]

More generally though, I would like to thank my co-authors @susannagarside.bsky.social @ninalopezuroz.bsky.social and @renschazottes.bsky.social — you are all brilliant and I learnt so much from you on this project. Perhaps more importantly, I also had a huge amount of fun working together!

Max Bradley @maxbradley.bsky.social · 20/05/2026

We have a new paper out in PNAS. Susanna’s thread outlines our findings. The big picture takeaway is that well-designed climate education (active, personally relevant, science-based) can complement fiscal and regulatory instruments by building public support for ambitious policy!

I agree, although I think we will both change our tune quickly if Italy / Ireland qualify…

I’ll be in Dublin next Thursday to talk about the PhD program at the EUI. It is a fully funded four year program at one of Europes best research universities (yes, I am biased…). If anyone has interested students based in Ireland please share with them!

@jeffcolgan.bsky.social and I have spent some time thinking about different approaches to teaching the politics of climate change. We advocate an approach that emphasizes the different 'theories of change' behind decarbonization.

Once again, PBC is back and calling for your applications! As always, this is a no-budget but heart-rich story — and we can’t wait to see your proposals!

We would appreciate any feedback on our work (see form below). We take a materialist orientation, but there are many other approaches, e.g., those which empahsize ideational factors. We want to have a broad discussion on how we teach climate politics. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

If you found our explainer video interesting, we've also written a working paper which lays out our arguments in more detail. It includes a comprehensive literature review that may help instructors build their syllabi. You can download the paper here: climate.watson.brown.edu/syllabus-bank

Max Bradley @maxbradley.bsky.social · 07/08/2025

We provide a Decarbonization framework which we hope will help instructors to a) build a strong syllabus, b) map existing theories of change (e.g., Kyoto, Carbon Taxes, Green New Deal), and c) provide a practical teaching element where students can trace their own theories of change.

Very excited to share this new tool for teaching the politics of climate change. What are the different *theories of change* that underlie decarbonization efforts and policies? Help your students learn about them. Please share widely. 🌎🔌💡🛢️

Would be interesting to compare both graphs with data from 2020. My hunch is that climate change fell as an ‘important issue’ and that may help explain the slump in Green support, as opposed to simply being punished for being in government

Max Bradley @maxbradley.bsky.social · 30/11/2024

Joris, as ever, your productivity is astounding. Congrats!
