A good day to read our paper!
First we have Mattias Wahlström and @KatrinUba's study of Greta Thunberg as a “Political icon and role model" demonstrating the mobilizing effect of female role models on especially younger women.

”Demonisera inte miljöaktivister”
Ministrarnas försök att utestänga delar av klimatrörelsen från offentligheten riskerar bara att undergräva tilliten till det demokratiska samtalet. Det skriver flera forskare. svd.se/a/wA2GyP/forskare-dem…

A new book about trade union activism is out, it takes a nice long-term perspective. @JenJansson and I have a chapter there. See link.springer.com/book/10.10…
This book includes many interesting chapters about protests in small countries that are often off the radar of common social movement research! Had a privilege to contribute with a piece based on my protest event data for Estonia (1991-2020).
Upcoming Book! Handbook of Civil Society and Social Movements in Small States (@routledgebooks) - Edited by Lino Briguglio, Michael Briguglio, Sheila Bunwaree, Claire Slatter, 2023

A great opportunity,!
Our annual call for PhD positions in Political Science is now open. For international applicants it is worth mentioning that a PhD student at @UU_PoliSci gets a salary, social security and an office - you will be our new colleague more than a student. uu.varbi.com/what:job/jobID:…
My great colleagues find that the human toll of disasters is not a significant determinant of adaptation actions in cities globally. Next question to ask is about the role of protests for adaption actions ;-)
#ClimateAdaptation & disasters are in the spotlight at #COP27, but whether disasters drive #adaptation action is contested.
Our @NatureComms study finds the human toll of disasters is not a significant determinant of adaptation actions in cities globally.

My brilliant colleague has written very interesting piece about labor identity
How are cohesive labour movements created? In this @ActaSocJournal piece, @JenJansson finds that labour leaders actively managed identity formation in the Swedish case, but internal education was also critical for creating cohesiveness.

The prosperous years of Estonian agriculture have damaged the quality of groundwater and surface waters. Climate resilience, biodiversity & minimization of pesticide/fertilizer runoff/impacts must be at the heart of future farming news.err.ee/1608764914/pesti…

Colleagues have commented on the legitimacy & effectiveness of recent climate actions like #SoupGate & #MashedMonet using general social movement theory. But can climate activism really be understood like other movements? I argue it cannot as I give my take on the matter👇👇 1/14
