So happy to see this out! We have data on 5,000+ voters and 26,000 candidates exploring the effects of sexism across 4 countries 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇬🇧🇦🇺 TLDR: gendered patterns of political competition strongly shape success rates of women candidates. Sexism may lead to voter abstention in the US. More in the paper!

I’m very interested in studying preferences on parental leave and wrote something short on it - would be interested in any leads on further data or cool papers I should be reading! roosmarijndegeus.com/2025/07/11/w...

This looks like a brilliant and super interesting book - if you’re lucky enough to be in London UK and interested in gender / quotas / comparative politics / LA or all of the above you should go to the launch!

Thrilled I finally have an achievement that can be featured on our family fridge 😂 thanks @ajpseditor.bsky.social

I think we should take this story from the Times today (and picked up by many other outlets) with an enormous pinch of salt for two reason (mini thread): www.thetimes.com/uk/media/art...

With our first child my husband and I took shared parental leave (SPL) in the UK - it was a great experience, but financially costly. It shouldn't be that way in my view. So take the opportunity to share your experiences with SPL with the gov. here: committees.parliament.uk/committee/32...

This looks like a great overview of the gender and voting field! Can’t wait to read
