Some personal/professional news. Over the next few months, I’ll be a bit quieter (and less responsive) than usual. I have a very good reason: your email finds me with at least one arm full.

Very happy to see this piece was a top viewed article in Nations and Nationalism. In the paper, we investigated how political challengers articulate new political divides in European political party systems & with what implications for democracy. OA paper: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

What happens when @psa-italian.bsky.social, @psagermanpol.bsky.social & @psagreekpol.bsky.social put together a panel on the far right? It gets moved outdoors.

On my way to Oxford for the PSA conference! I’ll be presenting a paper on Tuesday morning & taking part in a stellar round table on Tuesday afternoon. I’ll also be at the @psaecn.bsky.social speed mentoring event on Monday morning. If you’re around & fancy a coffee between panels, drop me a line!

Delighted to be speaking about my book and some new research on the far right at a FEPS event in Lisbon. But mostly, delighted to have a friendly @evianeleidig.com in the audience to take photos.

A philosopher and a neuroscientist walk into a bar and say 'we should write a paper on AI'. Ten years later, a political scientist (?) joins them and says 'I want in - let's write it'. Delighted to see finally this piece out in Big Data & Society: journals.sagepub.com/doi/epub/10....

The season where GWR discovers that it rains in the UK is back upon us. My train is so cancelled, it’s not even on the board anymore.

Call me old fashioned, I love receiving an author copy in the traditional paper format.

France has organised yet another governmental crisis while I am on holiday, so if I sound very quiet on Monday, you know why.

There are weeks where nothing happens, and others where by Wednesday you have 2 publications. Pleased to see this Annual Review piece (OA), co-authored with the splendid Marianna Griffini & @leoniedejonge.bsky.social : onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... 1/3

Delighted to finally see this piece out! Around 3 years ago, Matteo & I started thinking about whether Giorgia Meloni's Brothers of Italy REALLY resembled its neo-fascist predecessor in any meaningful way. The results are now published in @polstudies.bsky.social journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

Work today takes me to an indoors beach in Helsinki. I’ll be barefoot on stage and I am here for it.

About three years after Matteo Cavallaro and I first started thinking about this babe, it will finally see the light of publication. Stay tuned for the answer to the question 'But is Fratelli d'Italia really THAT close to the Movimento Sociale Italiano, and does it matter?'

Oh how I missed Eurosceptic literature from the 1980s, but this time courtesy of the Research Group of the Labour Common Market Safeguards Committee.

New working paper on 'Ideologising Europe and Europeanising Ideology: Political Party Ideologies & the EU' out now! In it, I try to think through the ideological dimension of EU integration, and what kinds of questions we might ask about it. All comments welcome www.lse.ac.uk/european-ins...

Had a great time discussing the far right in EU Elections at Trevelyan College in Durham! Great audience, great questions & a parallel between Orban and Mariah Carey that I doubt I'll ever be able to mention again. Now back to London to present my book at King's: www.eventbrite.com/e/book-prese...

Those six hours of train were worth it, I guess. Looking forward to discussing the far right in European elections at Trevelyan College later today.

Had a wonderful time doing unusual things in Manchester: attending a political theory conference, having the Labour Party archives all to myself and enjoying the sunshine.

Marta Lorimer @mlorimer.bsky.social · 04/09/2024

On my way to Manchester to present this beauty at the Mancept workshops. Lots of firsts: first paper in a great lineup, first time in Manchester and first time at a political theory conference.

First time in a debate at Cambridge Union. I got a promotion and was on a winning team. All in all, a lovely experience.

Well, if this isn’t interdisciplinary impact, I don’t know what is. Don’t get left behind, read the article yourself: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Good polisky news: as of today, PRX journal will no longer include references in the word count. To paraphrase Dua Lipa, ‘we got new rules, we don’t count them.’ Find the author guidelines here and submit your manuscript: bit.ly/3LNgRnB

It has a page and it has a cover, so I suppose it is happening. My first single-authored book is coming out next year with OUP! global.oup.com/academic/pro...
