- How we have been productive when Coronavirus locked us out of UniversityPublication . Nascimento, Andreia; Lopes, Hugo FerrinhoIn the Covid-19 pandemic era researchers and academics worldwide have experienced an unprecedented phenomenon. In this context of uncertainty and instability, academia was not spared the consequences of the new Coronavirus that locked everybody out of university. However, research and academic productivity during these unprecedented times may not have adversely affected projects, students, and their supervisors. Building on the authors’ personal experience this paper highlights some positive impacts of pursuing a PhD during a pandemic, focusing the reflection along two lines: 1) that work during social isolation may be better than ever; and 2) how open science has been crucial in this coronavirus era.
- Sub-representação de uma geraçãoPublication . Lopes, Hugo Ferrinho; Silveira, Pedro; Lopes, AntónioO aparente “divórcio” entre os jovens e a política tem sido amplamente discutido e, inclusive, dado como uma certeza nas últimas décadas. Mas existirá, efetivamente, um “divórcio” no que diz respeito à representação de jovens na política? E, a existir, quais são as causas? Quem cometeu “adultério”?

- Workers’ EU political alignments during the Great RecessionPublication . Freire, André; Cabrita, Luís; Duarte, Mariana Carmo; Lopes, Hugo FerrinhoUsing data from the European Election Study 2014, this article focuses on workers’ EU political alignments during the Great Recession. It deals with two research questions. First, how does the attitude of (manual) workers towards the EU compare to that of the middle and upper classes in the aftermath of the Great Recession? Second, when it comes to workers’ support for the EU, are there systematic differences between countries affected by the crisis? The article finds that, on the one hand, in terms of patterns of workers’ EU political alignments, there are no systematic differences between countries affected to varying degrees by the Great Recession. On the other hand, workers still feel fundamentally detached from the EU, especially when it comes to the manual workers. However, high levels of generalised detachment from the EU are not clearly translated into preferences for Eurosceptic parties, since there are high levels of vote fragmentation.
