My latest article in @JITP_APSA examines how personalized political information shapes voter decisions. Results show that tailored information strongly boosts electoral participation by clarifying political options yet rarely alters established voting preferences. 1/4

Today I signed a contract with @PrincetonUPress to publish my next book, "Global Nature: How Perceptions of Nature Transformed Global Political Visions"! Now I only have to write it...

@LawtherC @OUPAcademic Thank you Cheryl!

@IKovras @OUPAcademic Congratulations!

This book wouldn’t have been possible without the help of countless colleagues @UCYOfficial @Sociopol_ucy @Cityintpolitics, friends, and mentors. Thank you to everyone who contributed ideas, gave feedback, or supported me in any way. I appreciate you all!

@Nikandros95 joined later, but his companionship and intellectual support meant the world. I am truly indebted to him. Huge thanks to Dominic Byatt, whose editorial support was incredible throughout this process.
