Excited to share my new publication @poppublicsphere.bsky.social! We often think that women’s formal political participation began in the 1900s. Using archival records from over 150 assembly meetings between 1493-1789 in France, I show that, in fact, some women had political rights much earlier!

➡️📍📑 New Working Paper
with @sumpierrez.bsky.social and Rainer Bauböck
Work on migrant voting rights often has a state-centric perspective. We propose *migrant franchise constellations* as a migrant-centric approach.
A 🧵 with our argument and new data! 🗳️

Looks like almost everyone studying gender has their NSF funding revoked today.
My NSF was officially terminated “Beyond the Myth: Political Geography, Electoral Institutions, and the Evolution of Women’s Voting Patterns in Rich Democracies”
I’ve been collecting historical data on the gender turnout and preference gaps after suffrage using old ass books…

This is:
1. an absolutely nonsensical way to think about trade
2. nothing to do with tariff barriers, it’s just…relative trade. It’s just something else entirely
3. a CRAZILY back-of-the-envelope way to set global trade policy
It is mad that this is real.

james surowiecki has discovered where the completely fabricated trump tariff rate has come from for each country
"...for every country, they just took our trade deficit with that country and divided it by the country's exports to us."
