“Within a seminar series, women are interrupted more than men. This holds when controlling for characteristics of the presenter, paper, and audience. Interruptions that are negative in tenor or tone, or cutoff the presenter mid-sentence, increase for women presenters.”

📢New issue of #PAG21 is out!📢 @erincassese.bsky.social & @amandafriesen.bsky.social outline the major contributions to the literature on women voters published by P&G over the last 20 years and suggest future research agendas. gendersky polisky buff.ly/4hDqyIU
Research article "A Look Back At 20 Years of Research on Gender and Voting in Politics & Gender" by Erin C. Cassese & Amanda Friesen. 
Abstract reads: This essay highlights the impact of Politics & Gender on the discipline’s understanding of how gender shapes the preferences, behavior, and motivations of voters. It provides descriptive information about the prevalence of research on gender and voting in the journal, along with the proportion of articles dedicated to women voters across different regions globally. The bulk of the essay focuses on the substance of this research — drawing out major themes and identifying significant contributions within each theme — and it concludes by offering a future research agenda on gender and voting.

This has been my life. I’m lucky that I landed in a more welcoming place, but it’s been a struggle throughout my career as I have written about in Inside Higher Ed and my book #RadicalEmpathy. The sad truth is that I expect toxicity. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

"Hostile workplace climate pushing women out" Horribly common and here, at least, it is hardly even worth spending time on going to worthless Harassment Committees.
