Excited that our paper is accepted at LSQ! One might have expected COVID to expand women legislators' influence, given domain expertise in health. Instead, male leaders reframed the crisis around issues where they hold authority. A case of male elite adaptation, here in the context of crisis.

Thrilled that this is out at the APSR! 😀 I document how male elites creatively adapt to electoral reform in Indian village councils. Relevant for how we think about: 1) limits of reforms meant to equalize power, 2) (male) elite capture, 3) the "proxy" representative debate. A (late) 🧵

Very excited that our article is now out @jepsjournal.bsky.social! Using an original survey experiment, we find that rural Americans exhibit greater support for laws and perceive them as more beneficial to rural communities when proposed by rural state representatives. Read it at cup.org/4c9cfpi

Our @cambup-polsci.cambridge.org author shared insights from her book: “The truth is, they’d always been standing in political quicksand. As @zeynsom.bsky.social describes in her book “Glass Ceilings, Glass Cliffs, and Quicksands,” female leaders often operate in more precarious environments.”

We often ask who wins elections. But who decides to run? New @electoralstudies.bsky.social w/@mhayes.bsky.social: Multi-member districts ⬆️ Black candidate emergence—and political empowerment matters. We revisit assumptions about US electoral design and show who enters the pipeline—not just who wins.

Have you wondered why exactly it is that single-family zoning leads to racial segregation? I wrote this little article to figure it out. I use an agent based model to show it is a combination of race-based wealth inequality, homophily, & clustering of housing types in zoning maps.

🧑‍🤝‍🧑Do politicians consider the gender of leaders when selecting coalition partners? ➡️Using a conjoint on 979 Spanish mayors, @albahuidobro.bsky.social finds that mayors, especially those on the center and left, prefer coalitions with parties led by women www.cambridge.org/core/journal... #FirstView

🚨New publication! Thrilled to finally see this paper out in @psrm.bsky.social 🎉 📊I study how gender shapes coalition preferences among politicians. Turns out mayors prefer forming governments with women-led parties, perceiving them as better communicators and more competent governors.

One of my favorite Christmas gifts this year was "The Politics of Perception," sent to me by the brilliant author, @kstauffer.bsky.social. It's a must-read book about how & why Americans' (mis)perceptions of 🚺's political representation influence their efficacy, trust, approval of institutions.

In my new @bjpols.bsky.social, I show that the longstanding association between female labor force participation and ♀️ support for left-wing parties is conditional on their advocacy for gender equality in labor markets. Western Europe (1990-2019) Party behavior matters for the gender voting gap!
