I’m devastated to hear the Journeys grant was terminated today. The experience and mentorship I gained from participating in this workshop helped me land my current dream job at the GSS Lab. This is a devastating blow for the discipline.

Today, I received a termination for my National Science Foundation CAREER Grant, which employed a post-doc and many undergraduate research assistants.

I’d like to dedicate my first post to the 2023 EGEN conference hosted by @sabrinamkarim.bsky.social and Emily Jackson @ Cornell University. One of the BEST professional experiences of my life. 10/10 would recommend for all doing empirical research on gender and politics.

Gender and Security Sector Lab Workshop happening today: Great presentations by Almira Sadykova-DuMond on how curfews affect terrorism; @zinab.bsky.social on how aid quality affects incumbent support in Afghanistan; and DeAnne Roark on how conflict processes affect gendered transitional justice
