Please share!: Last week to apply for @epssnet.bsky.social Belfast 2026 really good news is that there's been an amazing response to the call for papers already; now very excited for this meeting ⬇️ We put together a quick FAQ on Qs that have come up on submitting: epssnet.org/conferences/...

🚨 Important quote: "We put a constraint of max ONE presentation per person. This does not prevent you from being a coauthor on papers that others are presenting".

Doch, in der Schweiz ist diese Entwicklung sogar fast noch ausgeprägter, ich hatte hierfür mal diese Grafik gebastelt gehabt:

Seksisme en politiek.

This figure of the growth in research on sexism in political science following the 2016 election is so interesting!

As one reviewer said: “The appendix is a treasure trove of information.” It has two parts: 1) An Excel table with a detailed description of all studies: concepts and survey items, research questions, results. I tried to make this database easy to search through and filter. osf.io/fajcy/ 5/7

This is a really exciting review article about the measurement and use of sexism in political science research. Excited to see it out! (full disclosure, I was a reviewer)

So useful!

Gender attitudes are likely more important than gender alone. The literature confirms that hostile and modern sexism played a role in Trump’s election and probably the success of other radical/far-right parties. 3/7

Many studies attribute the success of right-wing parties to sexism. What is sexism? How is it measured? How does it influence elections? My systematic review of studies on sexism as a predictor of political behavior and attitudes is about to appear in @poqjournal.bsky.social! 1/7

Some questions never get old in the social sciences. You can use very old ideas, adapt them to new contexts, and make a huge contribution.

🚨 New article out today in @cpsjournal.bsky.social ! 📄 “Strategic Inclusion Without Transformation: How Populist Radical Right Parties Engage With Women’s Interests” With Bonnie Meguid, @hildecoffe.bsky.social & Miki Kittilson 🔗 doi.org/10.1177/0010...

✨ SPS Welcome 2025 ✨ Yesterday evening, we welcomed our new cohort of #SPS researchers. Head of Department @arnoutvanderijt.bsky.social, together with our academic faculty, greeted the first-year researchers and celebrated the start of a new academic journey. Cheers to a fruitful year ahead! 🥂📚

Over the last decades, tertiary education has expanded rapidly - especially for women. They have overtaken men in all EU countries and the gaps keep growing in many of them. In four countries, the gender gap is larger than 20 percentage points. Are we ready for any egalitarian policies?

This headline is incredibly satisfying: "The Ministry of Education wants to improve boys' education. It will appoint a representative." After four years of my academic and public activity, the Ministry of Education now acknowledges a problem they denied as recently as 16 months ago.

1/ New paper out in Electoral Studies with @heikekluever.bsky.social and @cornelius-erfort.bsky.social We show that nuclear power plants reduce electoral support for Green parties in Germany. 🔗 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... A thread on the paper:

90% of unaccompanied minors applying for asylum in the EU are boys.

People are more likely to accept gender inequality if it is men who are worse off. A new paper with experiments on 35k Americans shows that when men are worse off people are: - more likely to attribute the inequality to a difference in effort - less likely to support pro-equality policies.

New article out in World Politcs. We analyze how different groups react to varying programs of social democratic parties. We find less trade-offs than often assumed. Generally, more left-progressive programs increase support among social democratic potentials muse.jhu.edu/pub/1/articl...

❗Among their electoral potential, social democratic parties face very few strategic dilemmas. Left-progressive appeals resonate most strongly. New study in @worldpolitics.bsky.social with @tabouchadi.bsky.social , @indubioproreto.bsky.social, Nadja Mosimann, and @markuswagner.bsky.social Thread👇

Are more women elected in proportional elections than in majoritarian ones? @gulczynski.bsky.social, @monikaturyna.bsky.social & @jkantorowicz.bsky.social examine local Polish elections and find little evidence of that. Read OPEN ACCESS: buff.ly/UH5PdOR @polstudiesassoc.bsky.social @sagepub.com

Yesterday EPSS was founded, today we answer members’ questions. A 🧵 1. Who formed EPSS? EPSS was founded by a supermajority vote of the EPSA Council, made up of 3 EPSAL shareholders & 9 elected, appointed, or ex officio members. 1/

🚨 Big News for European Political Science 🚨 We’re thrilled to announce the launch of the European Political Science Society (EPSS): a new, member-led, not-for-profit association built to support our scholarly community. 🔗 epssnet.org Here’s a thread with everything you need to know. 🧵

And here it is: introducing the European Political Science Society EPSS! 🎉🎉🎉 Follow @epssnet.bsky.social on bsky, visit its website www.epssnet.org, and become a member!

How do parties tailor their campaign ads to women? 🗳️👩 Excited to share that my paper on how parties adapt their ads is out now at @thejop.bsky.social! 📖 Read it here: www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/... A quick breakdown of the findings ⬇️🧵

I recently spoke at the Women in Tech summit in Warsaw, reportedly attended by 14k people. We discussed men's issues in front of over 100 women. I am grateful to the organizers for the opportunity. You can now watch watch the debate: www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_C-... (Foto: Marcin Runowski)

What a suitable place for a lecture on the Church and state formation by @annagbusse.bsky.social!

It's nice to be cited in a World Bank report.

Much of the gender gap in life expectancy isn’t natural. Men shouldn’t have to die 6, 8, or 10 years earlier than women. In many countries, the gender gap is only 3-4 years. We could have more grandpas and fewer widows if we start taking men’s health seriously.

Why has the right-wing candidate won the presidential election in Poland? "The ruling, progressive-liberal side has let go of young men and this is something that cost the victory," - Dr Michał Kotnarowski said last night in the main liberal TVN24. 1/6🧵

I just got a certificate from Wiley: my paper on sex-selective rural-urban migration is among the 10% of most-viewed papers published by #PDRjournal in 2023!* Have a look! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Yesterday I gave two long lectures for law students at the Nova School of Law in Lisbon. We covered "as many research methods as possible" from discourse analysis to quasi-experiments and quantitative text analysis. Teaching people from another discipline is a very useful challenge!

I've presented the early results of my research on education gender gaps at the @cep-lse.bsky.social. It was possible thanks to @mobarakhossain.net, @sandramcnally.bsky.social and the @civica.bsky.social short visits programme.

🚨Working paper alert🚨 This was the first project I started in my PhD, blessed with amazing co-authors! Glad to finally share our findings. Long story short: even largely symbolic and declarative state-sponsored homophobia can translate into real political behavior 👇

This stereotype isn't just held by far-right voters—it’s widespread, including among politically liberal citizens. Also, there are no differences between LGBTQ+ and cisheterosexuals. All stereotype Muslims to the same degree.

The Minister for Equality presented the priorities of the Polish presidency today in the 🇪🇺Parliament. She repeated: "We will also put on the table one more topic: the topic of men's and boy's rights." See my paper on how the EU includes men in gender policies: journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1...

Are young men and women in Europe becoming more polarized in their political ideologies? It depends. Across 32 countries: 14 show no meaningful gender gap 7 have a stable small to medium gap with women leaning more left 11 show widening modern gender gaps osf.io/preprints/os...
