Our new project got funding from the Swedish Research Council!
"Structural Change, Education, and the Radical Right". It will explore how gender, place, and structural change intersect to shape young rural men’s changing political behavior in Sweden.

What is sexism? How is it measured? How does it influence elections?
My systematic review of studies on sexism as a predictor of political behavior and attitudes is about to appear in @poqjournal.bsky.social!
