In a new article in Political Behavior we examine how citizens react to political comebacks after misconduct—and whether gender and party matter. Do citizens judge scandal-hit politicians equally? Not quite. 👉 Conservative women are the most likely to be forgiven. (w/ T. Stavenes) Funding ERC

New article by @rmuriaas.bsky.social and I: While seniority can benefit all parliamentarians and serve as a powerful resource, it does not confer power equally. Women face structural barriers to accessing seniority, and even when they attain it, their legitimacy and influence remains contested.

📣 Out on #FirstView 📣 In her Notes From the Field "Reflecting on Legislative Gender Quotas in Ireland" @fionamaybuckley.bsky.social reflects on the role of political parties in the stagnation of electoral gender parity in Ireland 🇮🇪 . gendersky polisky buff.ly/9Vc51v8
Notes from the Field article "Reflecting on Legislative Gender Quotas in Ireland" by
Fiona Buckley.
Introduction begins: Three days before the Irish general election in November 2024, Ireland lost one of its foremost and trailblazing women of the 20th century: Gemma Hussey. Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, Hussey served as a Senator, Teachta Dála (TD, a member of Dáil Éireann, the lower house of parliament in Ireland), and Cabinet Minister, and before and after her time in Irish politics, she remained a steadfast campaigner for progressive women’s rights, oftentimes in the face of staunch opposition from the Catholic Church, party colleagues, and the public. She was also a strong advocate of measures to support, facilitate, and promote women in politics.I first met Hussey in September 2010, when I and a colleague, Dr. Sandra McAvoy, invited her to address a conference that we had organized in University College Cork, examining the underrepresentation of women in Irish politics.
