🇩🇰Election results: The parties in Mette Frederiksen’s centrist coalition government lost seats in the Danish elections - yet, Denmark could still end up with a centrist coalition as no clear governing coalition emerges on the left or the right
Coalition talks will now commence
A line graph of the number of NSF awards in fiscal 2026 compared to fiscal years 2021-2025. The fiscal year 2026 is well below the other curves and increasing only very slowly.

I'd wager these disciplinary disparities here post-DOGE austerity are a bit more lopsided than anyone would have expected
Congratulations!!
Danish media certainly seems to think so! Especially when the right wing parties right out the gate are discussing quantities of “Muslim immigrants” citat Messerschmidt - I’ll be generous and say it’s about more than that, and I hope it will be for S.
That "Danish Model" he went for is paying off in Denmark too, latest polls:
SD : 22.1% (-5.4)
SF : 13.2% (+4.9)
Exactly three weeks from an election
Very happy to see this out in CPS! We study class identities and their social and political relevance over several decades in Britain, Denmark, Norway, and the US. A small thread:

Writing this piece with the talented @piotrmarczynski.bsky.social
With a Greenland that is more confident in its path to self-determination. Trump has managed to cool Danish-American relations while inadvertently warming Danish-Greenlandic ties.
Yet we can affirm that while perhaps the US does not want Greenland, Trump wants Greenland. Except what he has recieved for the moment is a Denmark that is more invested in its Arctic territory than ever, and more reconciliatory towards its colonial past than ever.
In 2025, an American president is attempting something similar and discovering that Greenland now has the agency, and Denmark the political will, to say no. In 2021, Secretary of State Antony Blinken had explicitly confirmed that the US was "no longer interested in purchasing Greenland."
The historical irony is considerable. In 1941, the United States occupied Greenland while Denmark was under Nazi control, treating the island as a strategic asset to be managed between great powers.
Denmark and Greenland are issuing joint statements. European allies are conducting Arctic military exercises in Greenlandic territory. And polling suggests that 85% of the island's population opposes the acquisition that Trump insists is essential.
Today, on the 24th of December, the situation is as follows: Greenland remains within the Danish realm. Trump has appointed a special envoy, the Governor of Louisiana, whose stated mission is making Greenland American.
So, I have been working on a paper regarding Trump's effect on Danish-Greenlandic relations using the media landscape. I've written up a little text about what he said two days ago. Happy holidays folks
Local election in Denmark has some stiff competition, go out in the cold and line up to vote or watch Denmark play Scotland
New paper out with the @adkspanel.bsky.social team, in the @bjsociology.bsky.social. I was happy to lead this paper on track differences in civic engagement, using four-year panel data of the ADKS (DAPDV) project, from the start of the tracked system (roughly age 12-16) doi.org/10.1111/1468... >

Here’s a thread with everything you need to know.

As far as I can understand, the funding behind "Patriot Polling" is not disclosed anywhere. They didn't provide any way of certifying that the phone numbers they had belonged to Greenlanders, only that they received 416 responses from +299 phone numbers.
At the University of California, the Office of the President (UCOP) disclosed last week the personal and demographic information of over 850 UC faculty members after being subpoenaed by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) as part of its investigation of antisemitism at UC campuses. The faculty who received these notices from UCOP were signatories of two letters addressed to university leadership. The first was an open letter to the UC Berkeley community expressing concern about “recent events in Israel and Gaza.” The second was a separate, multi-campus petition to the Regents accusing UC administrators of fomenting antisemitic hostilities toward Jewish faculty and students by not cracking down on pro-Palestinian protests.
The University of California is actively cooperating with the government witch hunt against some 850 faculty members.

Dear anyone on Bsky, has anyone done any research into "Patriot Polling"?
I find it odd that their first-ever survey outside of the US was in Greenland and that this survey reaches conclusions opposite to the Danish and Greenlandic polls and the March election results.

Do you know of causally identified research that estimates the effect of higher education on political attitudes?
@elizabethsim0n.bsky.social and I are currently working on a meta-analysis on this question and we need your help!
