Critical perspectives article "Cisheteropatriarchal Institutions and the Representation of LGBTQ+ Legislators" by Hanna K Brant. Article begins: "The 2018 election cycle was referred to as a “Rainbow Wave” because of the record number of LGBTQ+ candidates seeking and winning elective office. The backlash toward the LGBTQ+ community during the first Trump administration, at the local and national level, invigorated queer candidates to run for office. Then, in 2020 and 2022, news headlines again called the election cycles a “Rainbow Wave” (Debussy 2020; Lavietes 2022). According to the Victory Institute, the 2024 election marked a 1.1% increase in LGBTQ+ candidates compared to 2020, however, it was also a 4.8% decrease compared to candidates in 2022. Further, among LGBTQ+ candidates, the share of lesbian candidates dropped nearly 10 percentage points, from 26.7% of all LGBTQ+ candidates in 2020 to only 16.1% in 2024."

📢New issue of #PAG21 is out!📢

For our critical perspective on the 2024 election, @hannabrant.bsky.social argues that we should consider US legislatures as workplaces that shape the experiences of LGBTQ+ representatives.

Happy Pride month! 🌈

I read this a while ago because it’s described as “lesbian necromancers in space.” Been meaning to read the rest of the series, which apparently gets weirder in a good way

The fact that such a headline would even have to exist in these times disheartens me. The 22nd Amendment is clear. But what does the Constitution even matter if the President himself isn’t clear he’s sworn an oath to uphold it.

Thank you, Murat!

Thank you, David!

Brant Receives SUNY's Horizon Early Career Research & Scholarship Award SUNY Geneseo’s Associate Professor Hanna Brant, political science and international relations, has been awarded a SUNY Chancellor’s Horizon Award for Faculty Research and Scholarship. Brant is one of ...

I’m very honored to receive this recognition! Only 10 awards were given and Geneseo is small but mighty in the SUNY system, so it is very humbling to be among this group of scholars. I guess I really need to write this book now too 😅

Many thanks to @poliscisara.bsky.social for visiting my Women & Politics class today to discuss her research, “Politics of Bathroom Access and Exclusion.” My students loved the article and Sara’s visit to talk in more depth. I highly recommend Sara’s research!

“Looking UP at him” 👏 🙌

The American National Election Study is an NSF funded publicly available, incredibly rich dataset that tracks American public opinion, vote choice and evaluations of government that has been in the field since 1948. It is an incredible resource for teaching and research and must be protected.

Congratulations!!! Can’t wait to get my copy

First day of class, new mantra:

You have to learn how to use AI, but you can’t use AI to learn.

Syllabus: late work policy, missing assignments, extra credit, how to dispute a grade, rounding of final grades. Happy to share syllabi with this language! You’ve got this!

Congratulations!!

I recommend more by Tj Klune: In the Lives of Puppets (I listened on audio book) and Somewhere Beyond the Sea (sequel to Cerulean).

Years ago my mom and I connected over 2 of your books: she was reading Untamed & I recognized your name from reading Bad Fem. It was a really important connection for us at the time. She recently brought up Untamed given OH (she’s Rep and it helped her fight stereotypes) Your work matters, thank u!

I went Mizzou for my PhD. Apologies for an unsolicited restaurant rec, but Barred Owl Butcher is great (local owned, owner’s brother in law is a Mizzou polisci alum!)

If you’re able to email me at hbrant at geneseo dot edu I’m able to send a PDF

Polarization and the Ties That Bind: Congressional Staff Turnover Congressional staff serve as the “invisible force” in Congress by helping draft legislation and conduct oversight. Given this, excessive turnover among staff is a loss of institutional memory and i...

Excited to share my latest research: Why do congressional staff leave?It’s not just about money. I find that staffers’ exit intention (desire to quit) and actual exit are strongly impacted by the extent to which polarization impacts their job satisfaction.

Least favorite couple of the show 🫣

Congratulations!!!

I used it for the first time during the fall semester, happy to share! I will say, I don’t recommend assigning chapters chronologically

I read Gideon the Ninth over the summer and this description makes me want to read the sequel even more! 🤣

Really proud of this collection -- a set of outstanding essays that challenge and expand our understanding of descriptive represention, including a concluding piece by Mansbridge herself. Please read and share!
