I am incredibly proud that my book, co-authored with Andrea Aldrich, is published. Using an original party leadership dataset from 11 parliamentary democracies, Andrea and I show that women candidates face a glass ceiling for leadership and quickly sink once elected (the quicksand theory).

Party Considerations for Renomination in Pre‐Electoral Coalitions Pre-electoral coalitions are common across diverse political contexts. In this letter, I examine their impact on one of the most consequential functions of political parties: the candidate selection ...

We had an amazing time in ITAM in Mexico City for the 17th Empirical Study of Gender (EGEN) workshop! Our workshop brought together scholars from around the world to discuss projects on gender and power, get feedback, and build community. Look at this group of amazing scholars 🤩

Fantastic EGEN workshop at ITAM in CDMX 🇲🇽🌯🌮! Crazy good feedback and discussions. Thanks @egenpolisci.bsky.social and hosts @teele.bsky.social @alucardi1.bsky.social and Juan Pablo Micozzi for putting this together!

I am so glad I was able to attend this great workshop! I loved reading and discussing so much amazing research done by brilliant scholars, and I got great constructive, thoughtful feedback on mine and @dalexiadou.bsky.social's new project on women ministers! 🤩

Thanks so much to everyone @egenpolisci.bsky.social MEX for the excellent feedback on our research. 🙏🙏🙏

Thank you to @ITAM and @egenpolisci.bsky.social for a wonderful workshop arguing about gender and political power. We won't give up studying representation, violence against women, and backlash just because there are haters!

Great workshop in Mexico City at ITAM 🇮🇹 Thanks to all the scholars who shared their research and provided comments. Special thanks to @teele.bsky.social @alucardi1.bsky.social & Juan Pablo Micozzi for hosting us!

Couldn’t ask for a better workshop in a better city with a better group of brilliant scholars 😊

We really appreciate everyone who came from around the world to present, give feedback, and build community. Studying gender and power is important and essential research – we will continue to support scholars who engage in this space. Follow us for more information and resources!

We finished with a plenary! Amanda Clayton workshopped “When the Personal Becomes Political: Sexual Assault and Women’s Political Engagement” & @mirya.bsky.social & @tiffanydbarnes.bsky.social got feedback on “How Gendered Opportunities for Political Advancement Shape the Behavior of Legislators”

We then had a professional development session with Lisa Baldez, @mirya.bsky.social and @ceciliajosefsson.bsky.social over lunch (where we solved all of the problems in the world)

(okay, we started to talk about solving all the problems)

Group 1: Facilitator: Angie Torres-Beltran Participants: Catherine Reyes-Housholder, Carolina Tchintian ● Maria Teresa Martinez Trujillo “Las niñas bien y el Narco”: the triple transgression of the wealthy women who are in and around drug trafficking organizations in Mexico” ● Lisa Baldez “Stripping Identity: Indigenous Women's Dress and State Power in Panama, 1903-1925” Group 2 Facilitator: Juan Pablo Micozzi Participants: Tiffany Barnes, Antonella Bandiera ● Giulia Venturini, “Women in Top Ministerial Positions: A Comparative Perspective” ● Jennifer Piscopo “Crisis, Ministerial Survival and Gendered Leadership Style”

Group 3 Facilitator: Adrian Lucardi Participants: Andrea Aldrich, Amanda Clayton ● Eugenia Artabe “Elites Cues and Public Support for Gender Diversification of the Judiciary” ● Anna Wilke “Voice of the Law: Gender, Elite Persuasion, and the Role of Attention in Debates about Constitutional Rights” Group 4 Facilitator: Dawn Teele Participants: Mirya Holman, Leslie Schwindt-Bayer, Jakana Thomas ● Diana Dávila Gordillo “Gender, Voting, and Party Strategy” ● Cecilia Josefsson “Speaking of Women: Tracing the Evolution of Women’s Rights Norms in UN General Debate Speeches”

We then went into four workshop groups! These are a key piece of the EGEN format – you can get feedback early on in projects or help with a particularly challenging pieces of projects. Our workshop groups 👇

In our plenary first session, we workshopped “Gender and Presidential Vote Choice in Latin America” by @schwindtbayer.bsky.social & @reyeshousholder.bsky.social as well as @angietorres.bsky.social ’s excellent piece “Punishment Preferences in Gendered Settings: Evidence from Mexico”

All EGEN workshops are fully *read ahead* with our authors getting what @mirya.bsky.social calls “a firehose” of feedback from other participants. These take two forms: a plenary, where _everyone_ gives feedback and breakout sessions, with feedback from a curated set of experts

Very psyched about this paper: PR systems tend to have more women in politics but “hidden majoritarianism” in the sub-national pipeline produces an over-representation of men.

Woke up to the exciting news that my first solo-authored paper is available online at PRQ. While the road for the paper has been long, I’m thrilled to see it out. Big thanks to all the mentors and groups that helped, especially @egenpolisci.bsky.social
