During the last days of January, around 50 PhD students from four countries met to discuss the forest's past, present and future. A key insight was that ongoing research is far broader than how it’s often portrayed in the general forest debate.

Radical right populist parties have often been treated as “pariahs,” being excluded from coalition politics in parliamentary democracies. How can we study this type of distancing behavior? We argue that negative rhetoric targeted at radical right populist parties in legislative debates is used by the established parties to distance themselves from such parties. Using sentiment analysis of speeches

AbstractThis article takes as its point of departure the postcolonial understanding of the nation as a subject constructed through the colonial encounter. It argues that at the core of both colonial and postcolonial subject formations lies a desire for reconstructing a homogeneous nation that fulfils a ‘hunger for certainty’. The use of the term ‘hunger for certainty’ testifies to the emotional as
