Thanks for the kind words! It was really interesting to track down the details in the history of this important organization within the Canadian Political Science Association.
A terrific new article on the history of the @cpsa-acsp.bsky.social Women's Caucus has just been published. Thanks to @joannaeveritt.bsky.social and Samantha Papuha for this important documenting of CPSA history.
So excited to see this paper on the history of the Cdn Poli Sci Ass’s Women’s Caucus published by CJPS. Many thanks to all of those women in the discipline who spoke to us about it.

More great work coming out on the challenges facing LGBTQ+ politicians. This time looking at social media harassment.
It's great to see the publication of the second paper from our "queer pollies" project exploring the social media harassment of LGBTQIA+ politicians during the 2022 Australian federal election.

After years of hard work, I am happy to announce that my book The Candidacy Calculation has been published by UTP. The book takes a nuanced view of traditional barriers to candidacy such as money & family as well as emerging ones such as online harassment & social media scandals. lnkd.in/gKDkMHqs
