We usually think that social identities precede preferences
We show the reverse is also true: people update their social identities to match their immigration preferences

Do the public hold meaningful attitudes? Using the case of abortion policy preferences, we provide strong evidence that policy prefrences can be coherent, stable over time, and causally explain vote choice.

When Experience Meets Environment: Professional Backgrounds, Court Composition, and Decision-Making in Immigration Court Sara Heridia Matthew Martin Research on judicial behavior has long recognized that professional backgrounds shape decision-making, but often treats these effects as uniform across institutional contexts. Focusing on U.S. immigration courts, we argue that understanding how professional experience influences judges requires attention to the specificity of prior socialization and the courts where judges currently sit. Analyzing more than 500,000 decisions by 502 immigration judges from 2015–2018, we disaggregate backgrounds by domain and examine how court composition moderates individual effects. Immigration-specific experience matters: former ICE attorneys grant relief at lower rates than other prosecutors; nonprofit immigration defense attorneys grant at higher rates than other defense attorneys. These background effects, however, are conditional on context — they are most pronounced in professionally heterogeneous courts and attenuate in prosecutor-dominated courts, where local norms absorb or suppress prior socialization. Professional background shapes judicial heuristics, but institutional environment determines whether those heuristics distinguish judges from their peers.
How do professional backgrounds influence immigration judges? New WIP w/ Sara Heridia: Former ICE attorneys are more restrictive, former nonprofit imm lawyers more permissive—but both effects fade in prosecutor-heavy courts, where local norms absorb differences. 🔗 mattjmartin.com/research/wor...

Gender Quota Laws and Women in Cabinets 36 Pages Posted: 16 Dec 2024 Last revised: 11 Feb 2026 Tiffany Barnes University of Texas at Austin Giulia Venturini University of Strathclyde Ana Weeks University of Bath Date Written: December 06, 2024 Abstract Do legislative gender quotas increase women’s presence in cabinets? Women remain underrepresented in political leadership worldwide. As a remedy, over 80 countries have adopted gender quotas, requiring parties to nominate or elect a minimum share of women. But can quotas have effects beyond the positions they directly target? We argue that quotas increase the presence of women in executive cabinets by expanding the pool of experienced female legislators. Using a global dataset (168 countries) from 1990 to 2021, we find gender quotas increase the share of women ministers by 15 percent relative to the average baseline–including increases in both high- and lowprestige portfolios. Consistent with a supply-side mechanism, effects are largest in parliamentary democracies—where ministers are often selected from parliament—and in countries that experienced the greatest increases in women’s legislative representation post-quota. The findings suggest quotas can generate meaningful spillover effects at the highest levels of government.
“I am delighted to conditionally accept your article for publication in The Journal of Politics.”
🥳
We find that gender quota laws for legislatures also increase the share of women in cabinets.

Powerful white men once equated Black people with monkeys to justify their abduction, deportation, enslavement, lynching and segregation.
The heinous image that Trump shared is explicit racism.
There is no nowhere for his supporters to hide. Supporting him is incompatible with basic human decency.
