I once had the privilege of teaching a women & politics courses at Texas A&M. I inherited the class from a colleague, but I made it fully my own (no one double-checked my syllabi). And the course addressed gender, sexuality, and intersectionality—b/c, obvi. I have never enjoyed teaching more! 1/

I show the feminization strategy doesn’t always work to reduce voter punishment for corruption in LatAm. But in Guatemala where women’s rep is low & “fairer sex” stereotypes more prevalent amongst survey respondents, voters punish a party less post-scandal when new candidate is a woman. Read more👇🏻📑:
In “Can the Fairer Sex Save the Day? Voting for Women After Corruption Scandals in Latin America”, @emilyelia.bsky.social shows that voters’ perceptions about female candidates being less corrupt is context-dependent. Read here:

About 214,000* Germans living abroad had registered to vote** in yesterday's election. Because this was a snap election with a compressed timeline, many voters didn't receive their absentee ballots in time.*** I'm one of them: mine arrived today. The day after the election.
