V-Dem v.16 is now released, w. updated scores for 2025. Most countries remain stable from 2024, but some clear improvements (on diff’t democracy indices), incl. S. Korea, Sri Lanka & Mauritius. Largest declines came, by far, in the US. This figure shows 10-yr changes on the Liberal Dem. index.

🚨 New study by @ingvildzinober.bsky.social on the “green gender gap” in Europe finds women are more supportive of green policies and parties than men. This gap persists even after controlling for education, occupation, and location – pointing to deeper gendered value differences.

Still controlling for gender without thinking about why? You can cite me💚👩‍🔬💚 I show that the gender gap in progressive climate and environmental views is a persistent empirical regularity that cannot be explained by differences in socioeconomic background, political ideology, or risk aversion.

Very happy to see this out in CPS! We study class identities and their social and political relevance over several decades in Britain, Denmark, Norway, and the US. A small thread: journals.sagepub.com/eprint/SIRW4...

A week has passed since I successfully defended my dissertation at @eui-sps.bsky.social, and I still feel extremely proud of the skills I have learned and the research I have produced.

One of my greatest struggles is writing these self-promoting posts. They’re important for helping people find your work, but I never quite know what to say. So I’ll go with what feels most natural. I’m super, super proud of myself, and I think my work is pretty cool and innovative! Sooo check it out

NYU Abu Dhabi is looking for a Post-Doctoral Associate. I’m happy to see that non-discrimination based on sexual orientation is mentioned in their Equal Employment Opportunity Statement. There’s only one problem…

The theory needs some more development, but I feel pretty good about this preprint. Excited to be presenting it at the Politics & Gender Conference in two weeks💫@politicsgenderj.bsky.social

Paper under review! Had to publish the preprint so I could cite myself... Let me know if you are interested in the full draft 💚

Want to see something cool? We live in a gendered world where certain things and activities are seen as more feminine or masculine. But we don’t often consider that political parties can also be gender-coded. I asked ~1,300 students to rank the Norwegian parties from most masculine to most feminine.
