Spoke to Der Spiegel about gender differences in what makes a partner attractive. And why women being picky and men being not ambitious enough is a lame story that does not become more true by reiterating it.

Happy to take part in this exciting conference #GIF2025

Day 2 of the great #GIF2025 at @mpidr.bsky.social. Listening to @philipncohen.com pick apart the "depopulation panic" w/ figures like this: if global TFR drops to 1.66, in ~200yrs, the global population will be at the 2000 level. Of course these panics are not about humanity as a whole, are they?

An entire conference of family demographers. Outstanding! #GIF2025 (what is the collective noun for this?)

The fantastic team of my research group „Gender Inequalities and Fertility“ brought this amazing crowd of international family scholars to @mpidr.bsky.social. What a rewarding experience to host a conference that aims to give shape to a timely research agenda.#GIF2025

Unlike men, German women’s income drops by 20 percent on average upon marriage. Reasons are nonegalitarian gender roles and incentives for joint taxation. WP here: www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/4ffpm... www.tagesschau.de/wirtschaft/a...

Ich hoffe, die zukünftigen Koalitionäre (ich nutze mal bewusst die männliche Form) lesen diesen Beitrag von Birgit Riegraf, ehemalige Präsidentin der @unipaderborn.bsky.social. Gerade in diesen Zeiten ist Geschlechterforschung unverzichtbar!

🇩🇪🗳️ German election 2025 The conservative coalition (CDU/CSU) won Sunday’s national vote, while the far-right AfD saw its best-ever result, winning swathes of support in the east. For the SPD, it was a disaster. The results: www.politico.eu/article/germ...

The gender gap in voting behavior in the 18-24 yrs age group in yesterday’s election in Germany. Women lean towards the left, men to the right.

You should follow @julialeesch.bsky.social, postdoc in my research group, who did a fantastic debut in science communication on partner choice and the non-randomness of who we partner with. There is an English version as well, see link below.

It was a pleasure to share at #ALAP2024 some results from our research "A multidimensional perspective on gender beliefs and perceptions among Colombian couples" that I am working together with @nhiekel.bsky.social. Thank you to everyone that stopped by our poster and gave us such great feedback. 🙌💫

Time for my regular gripe about how “traditional” gender ideologies are not really traditional at all 👆 royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/...

Conferences are also a space where you meet your mentors, teachers, and friends in academia. Here are some of mine that I truly appreciate. @imprs-phds.bsky.social @mpidr.bsky.social

The annual academy @imprs-phds.bsky.social at @mpidr.bsky.social has been a blast. In my role as faculty member I was honored to speak about how fertility behavior (re)produces gender inequalities and why framing family policies as tools to fix low fertility rates misses the point.

💡💡💡We are delighted to welcome @imprs-phds.bsky.social students and their supervisors to the Annual Academy 2024 @mpidr.bsky.social. We're looking forward to two more days of student and faculty presentations, networking, and sharing future research endeavors. 🎓🎓🎓 #demography #phdlife #PhD

University of Padua‘s department of statistical sciences kindly invited me to speak about the intersections of gender inequalities, fertility and family complexity to understand contemporary fertility behavior and future population change.

the official statement from WOinActie (first Dutch, then English): woinactie.blogspot.com/2024/11/woin...

Aaand this is why we need tractors! After wks of organizing & clearly increasing momentum for a national protest against the billion+ in budget cuts to higher edu & research, the municipality of #Utrecht blocks the protest out of what they state are "safety concerns"... This is heartbreaking. 🟥

Given this government’s xenophobic and destructive stance, it’s uncertain whether any petition—especially one initiated abroad—will sway their decisions. Nevertheless, it could boost morale here and reinforce the will to resist. Please add your name to the petition! www.change.org/p/stop-cuts-...

This week, the government announced an additional cut of roughly 300 million euros, primarily impacting the Dutch Research Council (NWO).

Some institutions have already indicated that this will mean the elimination of numerous programs, particularly in language studies. Additionally, most English-language teaching will be prohibited (!), forcing many international faculty members, who moved here with their families, to leave.

Several months ago, they announced plans to cut one billion euros annually from the university budgets — the equivalent of the entire budget of our largest university, the University of Amsterdam, or that of two smaller universities combined.
