For @policyoptions.irpp.org, I wrote about how Canada lags its European and Anglo peers in electing women to parliament, how that harms their reputation, and, drawing on research w/ @dzobrien.bsky.social & Amanda Clayton, why voters prefer gender parity. policyoptions.irpp.org/2025/10/gend...

Canada ranks 71st for women in politics

Canada ranks 71st in the world for women in parliament. Voters support gender quotas to make politics more representative.

Just found the results of my first-ever political science interview: my great-aunt Hazel, who was generous with her time on a Sunday night for my school project when I was 10 years old. I’m just confused as to why no newspapers published this as her obituary???

Voice votes are common in the Senate and a key reason why it’s difficult to analyze senators’ behaviour based on just the voting record - majorly important bills are passed and we don’t know how they voted. Speeches (and amendments, if any) give us a clue as to their priorities.

New paper in IPSR with @traceyraney.bsky.social! Drawing on the reforms in the Canadian Senate, we argue that institutions in flux can be regendered by the people within them: amidst all the changes, Canadian senators successfully cemented new feminist rules. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

New article with Erica Rayment in @ejpgjournal.bsky.social! We observe that women’s groups disproportionately shifted their lobbying attn to the Cdn Senate following reforms, suggesting that they understand institutional context and act accordingly. bristoluniversitypressdigital.com/view/journal...

Doing a happy dance because two @mcgillqueensup.bsky.social books are shortlisted for @cpsa-acsp.bsky.social's 2025 Smiley Prize! 💃 What Women Represent: a "superb book", say the endorsers. The Great White North: "this kind of work is very rare" and "required reading", they attest.

Big day for me - I finally have an answer to my students’ perennial question “what happens if the party does well but the leader loses their seat?”

Me, a poli sci prof, watching the leaders debate: “A fourth Liberal term?! Governments in Canada don’t have terms! We count by tenure in office over the course of parliaments!” I think I might be stuck in exam grading mode.

My new op-ed with Rebecca Wallace about the lack of gender parity in Carney’s new cabinet. We hope gender-equal cabinets will be expected by Canadians, not just a one-off under Trudeau. #InformedOpinions is calling for us to #BalanceThePower www.hilltimes.com/story/2025/0...

Why gender parity matters in cabinet

Almost a decade of gender-balanced federal cabinets have paved the way for new women appointees.

📢New issue of #PAG20 is out!📢 @emgmccallion.bsky.social investigates the conditions under which legislators talk about gender in the 🇨🇦 Senate in "Partisanship, Independence, and the Constitutive Representation of Women in the Canadian Senate" polisky gendersky www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

Research article "Partisanship, Independence, and the Constitutive Representation of Women in the Canadian Senate" by Elizabeth McCallion.

Abstract begins: This article investigates legislators’ willingness to talk about gender and women during policy making discussions, asking whether it is conditional on their sex or partisanship in environments where party discipline does not constrain their speech. The Canadian Senate offers a case of a legislature with low or absent party discipline. A quantitative content analysis of nearly 1,000 Senate committee meetings confirms that sex is a primary indicator of legislators’ inclination to talk about gender and women. Moreover, women senators who sit on committees with a critical mass of women members (30% or greater) are more likely to talk about gender and women, making the case for the importance of women’s descriptive representation. Partisanship and independence had no significant effect on senators’ propensity to discuss women.
