Looking back to some excellent panels and fruitful discussions with colleagues and friends at #ecprgc25 in vibrant Thessaloniki!

I missed #ecprgc25 this year but my colleague and co-author Rasa Bortkeviciute presented our work with @wmjunk.bsky.social on interest groups' responses to crisis and turbulence.

My first conference experience couldn’t have been better: a sunny week in Thessaloniki, the chance to present my research on women’s protests and repression, and countless inspiring panels and conversations. #ecprgc25 it’s been a pleasure ☀️

Just got back from Thessaloniki & a memorable
@ecpr.bsky.social General Conference 2025! #ecprgc25

Was great to get feedback & attend fascinating talks by brilliant colleagues!

We had a nice and engaging Joint #CNES - #CCS Business Meeting at the #ecprgc25 A big Thank You goes to all attendees for your interest in our activities and for the lively discussion that ensued 🍷🍻😃
