Out in Feb 2025 with @HurstPublishers my new book tells a story of the making and unmaking of Kazakhstani identity. It also features a long overdue chapter on December 1986 protests & my decade-long archival search for the lost bits of colonial history

This is an outstandingly good thread. It's heartening to know that the author of it is on the Defence Select Committee.

In this new article (🚨) in Party Politics, Wolfgang C. Müller and I show that new people in the main party executive introduce change in issue emphasis.🧵

Why did attitudes towards racial mixing changed around early 1930s in Estonia? Brace yourself for a scandalous love story (on many levels!) and global connections in my article for the Estonian cultural monthly Vikerkaar vikerkaar.ee/archives/30967

I'm going to share some graphs that dig a bit into what we can make of Moldova's first round of presidential elections and the EU referendum. I'm not going to consider the diaspora and only take voters within Moldova. I'm also going to present vote shares by region.

Does ethnic structure of local areas shape attitudes towards immigrants? @magda_bork & @JTLaurence find living in residentially integrated areas with high minority share leads to more positive attitudes: journals.sagepub.com/doi/ful…
