If you're looking for an excellent regional conference (great for grad students) and want to see Cape Breton in the fall, you should consider the Atlantic Provinces Political Studies Association Annual meeting. I highly recommend it and the deadline for the call for proposals is coming soon.

Please share the announcement that the 2026 F&M LGBTQI+ Global Batometer Perception Index Survey is now open. It measures perceptions of acceptance and discrimination of LGBTQI+ folk around the world. The more people who complete it, the better able we are to compare experiences across countries.

Quick note to our community: several colleagues have reported receiving emails that appear to come from EJPG editors and ask for help with journal business. These messages are scams and were not sent by any member of the EJPG editorial team.

The Girl Guides of Canada say: Be prepared to protect trans rights.
Hey Facebook, post from the girl guide of Canada that reads: Inclusion makes Girl Guides of Canada stronger. It ensures that girls and youth have a place to build confidence, develop the skills to thrive and connect with a community that sees them for who they truly are. 

Girl Guides of Canada welcomes all girls – cisgender and transgender – as well as non-binary people who are comfortable in spaces that focus on and are driven by the experience of girls.

Thrilled to have a new article in PRQ in time for the end of Pride month. doi.org/10.1177/1065... It demonstrates that having 2SLGBTQI+ candidates running in an electoral district is correlated to higher turnout among 2SLGBTQI+ voters - even in a relatively accepting place like 🇨🇦. #affinityeffects.
