🧵 What kind of POPE do AMERICANS want?📸

Before the Conclave, @sophiemainz.bsky.social and I asked 1,500 U.S. adults to choose among hypothetical papal candidates.

Results: Americans prefer a liberal and *non-political* Pope. The latter might be challenging for Leo XIV.

What a privilege to have four brilliant people read and discuss our (me and @parzetterberg.bsky.social) book manuscript on Autocratic Genderwashing. Thank you Michael Wahman, Li Bennich Björkman, @jennpiscopo.bsky.social and Björn Holmberg. This was so inspiring!

Research article "Feminist Institutionalism and Ethnography: Crafting Research from a Diverse Methodological Menu" by Michal Grahn & Cherry M. Miller. Abstract begins: The objective of feminist institutionalist (FI) political science is to expose institutions that perpetuate gender inequalities. The nature of these entities and the best strategies for studying them remain hotly debated topics. Some scholars identify ethnography as a valuable methodology for FI research. However, novices to this methodology might need help navigating it. In this theory-generating article, we aim to bridge the gap between different approaches to FI and ethnographic methodologies. We propose ethnographic approaches suitable for scholars who see gendered institutions as real entities that constrain and enable human practices, as well as those who perceive them as sedimented clusters of meanings.

📣 Out on #FirstView 📣

In "Feminist Institutionalism and Ethnography" @grahn.bsky.social & Cherry M Miller propose ethnographic approaches for scholars looking to research the gendered outcomes of institutions.
