Rejoice!
I have, together with my Co-Authors at TU Dortmund, won the Alexis de Tocqueville Award der World Association for public Opinion Research (WAPOR)! It was an uplifting moment and a great honor when Tomthy Johnson presented me the certificate during the Conference Dinner at WAPOR’s annual conference in St. Louis, U.S.A. on May 13, 2025.

The winning paper is this:
