I'm very happy to share that my first dissertation paper is now online in Party Politics (🔓)! I examine how political appointments (patronage) relate to coalition support in multiparty presidential systems, using roll-call data from Brazil's Chamber of Deputies (2003-2018). doi.org/10.1177/1354...

I had a great time attending and presenting my joint research at the inaugural conference of the @epssnet.bsky.social. It was amazing to see so many familiar faces and get to know many new people.

Already in Belfast for the @epssnet.bsky.social conference! Looking forward to presenting our paper on whether female ministers lose competencies more often during ministerial reforms. (with @thomasmmeyer.bsky.social, Ulrich Sieberer and David Schmuck) 19/06, 15:20, at Lisburn (Hilton) #EPSS2026

I had a great chat with Mara Tribuna from the Portuguese news outlet @jornalexpresso.bsky.social and their podcast O Mundo a Seus Pés. This was my third time on the podcast, and we talked about the succession line to the Japanese imperial throne.

Happy to contribute once again with the @jornalexpresso.bsky.social and the great Hélder Gomes for an article about the rumors about the "new" Russian interference on the European stability through nostalgic sectors in Austria. My two cents were on how Austrian parties and see (or don't) the matter.

O lance dos "tribunais dos vitoriosos" é sinistro porque eles também decidem quem não vão se sentar no banco dos réus. Basta ver o que aconteceu no Japão, onde os EUA pouparam uma penca de criminoso ao darem anistia em troca de informações sobre a Unidade 731 e seus experimentos biológicos.

If you are a PhD student researching on legislative studies, the Summer School of the @sgparliaments.bsky.social is an excellent opportunity to expand your network and to present and discuss your own research, all of that under the supervision of renowned scholars on the field.
