π¨ New publication alert! π¨
Why do some people keep voting throughout their lives while others drop out? And how do authoritarian elections - even uncompetitive ones- shape citizensβ habits?

π¨π¨ Weβre hiring! π¨π¨
We have 3 lines open in CP, IR and IPE β all tenure-track.
We offer competitive salaries, a 2:1 teaching load, in a friendly (and fully in English) environment, at one of Europeβs most sought-after cities.
Are regimes with higher nr's of core supporters more durable? Are regimes with more diverse coalitions of supporters more durable?
In this (published today) @cpsjournal.bsky.social article, @sirianned.bsky.social , @magnusrasmussen.bsky.social , and @torewig.bsky.social I answer "Yes" to both Qs.

So happy to see this out! We have data on 5,000+ voters and 26,000 candidates exploring the effects of sexism across 4 countries π¨π¦πΊπΈπ¬π§π¦πΊ
TLDR: gendered patterns of political competition strongly shape success rates of women candidates. Sexism may lead to voter abstention in the US.
