Current research projects
- In a project funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG), we combine computational methods and candidate surveys to examine the determinants that drive the use of negative campaigning in state and federal elections (with Jürgen Maier (RPTU) and Sebastian Stier (U Mannheim/Gesis), https://ltw-befragung.netlify.app/people).
- In a PhD project funded by the Dutch Ministry of Education and ASCoR, we explore the influence of social norms on citizens' acceptance of negative and uncivil attacks. Will a harsher tone during election campaigns establish themselves as the new norm and what dynamics unfold over the course of an election campaign?
- I am a senior researcher in the EU-funded project TWON - TWin of an Online Social Network (Horizon 2020). Together with our European partners, we are developing a social network structure and investigating the effects of social network architecture on discourse dynamics and debate quality.
- In an interdisciplinary PhD project funded by the Research Priority Area (RPA) of the University of Amsterdam, we are studying the impact of the linguistic architecture of narrative messages on the polarization of political views.
