Addressing the 2025 @nalas-org.bsky.social conference at the University of Bergen, keynote speaker @svampam.bsky.social underlines that with the worldwide rise of the far right "we are witnessing the suicide of #democracy." #NALAS2025

Very interesting presentation at #NALAS2025 on "Contemporary Religious Political Parties in Latin America" by @tboas.bsky.social from @bostonu.bsky.social. These kind of parties are among "the oldest forms of political organization in [contemporary] Latin America". @nalas-org.bsky.social

#NALAS2025 acaba de terminar con una conferencia magistral maravillosa de @teresalopezpellisa.bsky.social. Habló sobre la ciencia ficción como utopía que inspira nuevas formas de sociedad. Usó "Soñarán en el Jardín", de la mexicana Gabriela Damián Miravete, que imagina un #México sin #feminicidios.

Many thanks to @nalas-org.bsky.social and NALAS president @ykasahara.bsky.social for choosing the University of Bergen (UiB) as the venue for the 2025 conference. All NALAS friends will meet again in June 2027, when the University of Agder (UiA) will host the conference.

Now: @tboas.bsky.social is arguing, in his talk at #NALAS2025, that the most important trend in Latin American politics over the last 30 years is the anti-establishment sentiment. This has been a winning formula for 'populists' in various election. @nalas-org.bsky.social @ykasahara.bsky.social

I am pleased to see this piece published in B&P. It was a rewarding experience to learn more about Malaysia. Long story short: consensus about achieving international competitiveness must be a core pillar of any local content policy! www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

I was just informed that our RCT in Bangladesh has been terminated mid-way. The project we were evaluating was helping to build resilience by forming farmer groups in 225 villages and transferring critical knowledge on smart agriculture practices in areas highly affected by climate change.

I had the privilege to introduce the movie Ainda estou aqui (I’m still here) in a première in Oslo with Barbara Hoff Schmidt. A movie that could not be more relevant to discuss the current role of the military in Brazilian society. Also, an amazing performance from Fernanda Torres. Go watch it!

The (preventive) prison of a Brazilian General for a coup attempt is historic. But it almost annoys me that the journalist picked my joke that it felt like a Xmas gift, as an opening quote for his piece. www.vg.no/nyheter/i/63...

Brasil: General og tidligere forsvarsminister Braga Netto arrestert etter kupp-planlegging

Brasil preges av et politisk drama idet detaljer kommer frem om et plott for å styrte demokratiet i 2022. –⁠ En tidlig julegave, sier Brasil-ekspert.

The Amazon river in Manaus is moving fast to a new record low level (the current one was reached last year). But what the picture cannot convey is the burning smell that impregnates the whole city. Brazil is burning.

October last year, I conducted with colleagues from NordSTAR_ai @oslomet.bsky.social a nation-wide survey in Norway about trust in AI (n=1,330). We are still analyzing the data, but one interesting take out: Norwegians know little about AI, but in general are positive to its effects in society.

I am very happy to see this piece with @tboas.bsky.social , Danny Hidalgo and Monique Menezes accepted in @thejop.bsky.social. It was a great combination of insights from qualitative work tested on quantitative data. Full disclosure: we didn’t know what DAPs were when we started this project!
