@mjjgillissen.bsky.social, @ldeblok.bsky.social and I just published a paper on how the quality of public service experiences relates to political trust versus distrust... (1/)

@margheritacusmano.bsky.socialFun to see my paper on “intersectionality in the mind” in this month’s list of the most popular social science research on @scilove.bsky.social!

@margheritacusmano.bsky.socialI also want to share a special thank you to Daniel Müller, who first brought this award to my attention. Excited to continue my work on migration and inequality, and on migrants' perceptions of the welfare state!
@margheritacusmano.bsky.socialThis milestone would not have been possible without the outstanding support of my supervisors, Prof. Karen Schönwälder, Prof. Silke Hans and Prof. Patrick Sachweh. I couldn't have asked for a better team in my corner.
@margheritacusmano.bsky.socialWhat is the best possible boost while stuck at home recovering from COVID? Getting news like this!🤧🤒✨
I am grateful to receive the Wolfgang Enke Award from @uni-goettingen.de and see my dissertation recognized in the fields of social policy and welfare state research 🏆
@margheritacusmano.bsky.socialTwo core insights:
🧠 Intersectionality in the mind: an everyday awareness that inequalities interlock.
👷♀️ A view from the intersections: social position isn't simple addition; it’s co-constitutive.
Full paper (OA) via @britsoci.bsky.social:
@margheritacusmano.bsky.socialAs one participant told another during a group discussion: “If you look at the statistics, you’re at a double and triple disadvantage. First, you’re a woman. Second, you wear a headscarf. You’re a Turkish woman. And you’re also a single parent. And you are retired!”
@margheritacusmano.bsky.socialWhen you ask people about economic inequality, what crosses their minds? In a new open-access paper in Sociology, I asked 47 participants this question. Almost no one talked about money alone. Instead, they pointed to gender, race, visa status, language, and disability. 🧵👇

@margheritacusmano.bsky.socialThe pros: A fun, engaging way to find interesting research. Highly recommend! The cons: My “to-read” list is now exponentially longer. (Thank goodness for the daily match limits, because the swiping process is addictive! 😅)
@margheritacusmano.bsky.socialI only discovered this app last week, and what can I say: I absolutely love it. It’s essentially “Tinder for papers”, allowing you to swipe through interesting pieces of research.
@margheritacusmano.bsky.socialVery excited to see that my paper, Generation Matters: The Role of Migration and Generational Status for Distributive Justice Attitudes, is trending on @scilove.bsky.social ! 📈
@margheritacusmano.bsky.socialPlease feel free to drop me a message if you will be around, I am always up for a coffee and a good chat about research. Hope to see you at the conference!
@margheritacusmano.bsky.socialHere is where you can find me: 🗣️ Panel: Socioeconomic, Political and Emotional Antecedents of Inequality Perceptions (Code: P487) 🗓️ When: Friday, September 11, 14:00–15:45 📍 Where: Faculty of International and Political Studies | Floor 4, Room 408
@margheritacusmano.bsky.socialHello, Krakow! 👋
I have just arrived for the ECPR General Conference and cannot wait to dive in.
I will be presenting my latest work on migrants’ welfare state attitudes later this week.

@margheritacusmano.bsky.socialMy amazing partner Massimo Maccalli deserves a massive shout-out for building the code magic and making the design look this good!

If you stop by, definitely go poke at the Venn diagram on the main page. Click on the intersections to see how different parts of my work and interests overlap.
@thomaslux.bsky.socialReposted by @margheritacusmano.bsky.socialSociology in the tradition of Karl Mannheim says that what you live through in your impressionable years tends to leave a lasting imprint. But which events do people themselves count as formative for their lives? Our data visualization in Socius answers this. 1/6 journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...
