I agree; I've had 8 requests since term started in January. This labour needs to be shared and for non-gender journal folks, we don't know everything about women and gender...

Had thoroughly enjoyable and educative two days listening to @studyofparl.bsky.social Commons and Lords officials as well as academics, think tankers and former and current parliamentarians.

🛡️ How can parliaments become more gender-sensitive? In her latest blog, @profsarahchilds.bsky.social examines the role of male allies and champions—or whether something less heroic might be key to driving change. 📖 Read the full piece: www.johnsmithcentre.com/research-blo...

So I sent a book to a colleague in Belgium to read … customs notice filled out. No value. It wasn’t a gift but a loan… returned undelivered due to duty. Post Brexit ridiculousness …

Excited to see my article 'Balancing Politics and Parenthood' in EJPR is out. In a UK study, I find that the public do not punish MPs for taking parental leave. In fact, for women there is some electoral advantage. ejpr.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

There is a double marginalization of far-right women politicians in the European Parliament–as women and as far-right politicians–which results in women politicians lacking influence within their parties, and within the European Parliament more broadly journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

Funding available for UK-based PGR or ECRs to attend this workshop on "Gender, Parties, and Parliaments" and receive feedback on your work from @jennpiscopo.bsky.social @drmalligaoch.bsky.social @sfranceschet.bsky.social among other fantastic scholars!

As the Modernisation Committee gets set up, how should it operate? In this blog, @profsarahchilds.bsky.social, @merylkenny.bsky.social, @jesssmith.bsky.social and I argue that the committee must consider the gendered impacts of any proposals: www.centreonconstitutionalchange.ac.uk/Modernizatio...

🚨 Post-doc opportunities at the University of Edinburgh 🚨 I am looking for two post-doctoral research fellows to join a new project (marcgeddes.uk/spark) comparing how parliaments in Europe gather, analyse and use different types of knowledge:
