Why are parties like AfD, Movimento 5 Stelle, or La France Insoumise so involved in street protests? Is it because of populism or their (radical) host ideology? Come and find out at #EPSA2025 on Friday at 15:00 (0A.05) where I will present joint work with Bruno Castanho Silva!

Let's go!🔥 I am super happy (see the photo) to have the opportunity to spend the next three years researching populist party-movement interactions with @kayserma as my supervisor. There is so much still to explore in that field!
Meet our new cohort of 2023! @leotschmidt is researching how populist parties interact with protests and whether they can profit from this strategy. He studies in the Doctoral Programme in Governance @thehertieschool with main supervisor @kayserma hertie-school.org/en/researc…
