Party Behaviour and the Gender Voting Gap - Volume 55

In my new @bjpols.bsky.social, I show that the longstanding association between female labor force participation and ♀️ support for left-wing parties is conditional on their advocacy for gender equality in labor markets. Western Europe (1990-2019)
Party behavior matters for the gender voting gap!

Happen to see that the openly gay leader of the D66 party is likely to lead the new government in the Netherlands? Curious how citizens evaluate lesbian and gay party leaders? My latest co-authored article exploring this question is now online (and open access)!

Lesbian and gay party leaders receive lower leadership evaluations than straight leaders in the UK, and the effects are consistent across genders. Interesting yet discouraging findings in our BJPS paper. @josephfcozza.bsky.social @gdilandro.bsky.social Andrea Aldrich @utgovernment.bsky.social

📰 Our research on the mental load is on CBS Mornings! 💥
In @jmfncfr.bsky.social, we find mothers manage 71% of family tasks—rising to 79% for daily routines. A powerful but often invisible form of inequality.
Grateful to team up with @leahruppanner.bsky.social on this work -- more to come!

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).
New Cambridge Element 'Glass Ceilings, Glass Cliffs, and Quicksands: Gendered Party Leadership in Parliamentary Systems' by Andrea S. Aldrich & @zeynsom.bsky.social is now free to read for 2 weeks.

🤓In this CPS article, Rosie Shorrocks and I test mechanisms that according to modernization theory can explain modern gender gaps.
🧐Our results imply that women with different political views select into different life trajectories - in education, work, out of marriage.
