You probably know about this but just in case - Canada has “Research Impact” chairs for world leading researchers interested in coming to Canada

Dream count by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichi ; also ”tomorrow, tomorrow and tomorrow” by Gabrielle Zevin and non fiction I read “careless people” which was kind of disturbing but gripping! Currently re-reading philip pulman book of dust in anticipation of putting the final instalment on my Christmas list!

So happy to see this out! We have data on 5,000+ voters and 26,000 candidates exploring the effects of sexism across 4 countries 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇬🇧🇦🇺

TLDR: gendered patterns of political competition strongly shape success rates of women candidates. Sexism may lead to voter abstention in the US.

More in the paper!

What do parents want? Preferences on parental leave My second daughter is almost turning one and with that I have reached the end of my maternity leave for her. Yes – you read that correctly, I was able to take a full year of paid leave here i…

I’m very interested in studying preferences on parental leave and wrote something short on it - would be interested in any leads on further data or cool papers I should be reading!

That’s so kind - it’s mutual, if only I could live in two places at once!

Highly recommend applying! It’s a supportive department with great colleagues and a strong comparative group!

This looks like a brilliant and super interesting book - if you’re lucky enough to be in London UK and interested in gender / quotas / comparative politics / LA or all of the above you should go to the launch!

Misschien zijn ze bang dat het electoraal moeilijk ligt en verwachten ze binnenkort een verkiezing? Of een soort trauma van de euro crisis 🤔? Maar ja.. rationeel is het niet

I’ve been saying it’s so nice and warm out now it’s just below zero which makes me feel integration into Canadian winter is going well

Is this for real? 🤯 probably a bad sign that I can’t tell anymore

Gen Z doubts about democracy laid bare in ‘worrying’ survey More than half believe the UK should be a dictatorship and there’s a stark gender divide over equality, research for Channel 4 shows

I think we should take this story from the Times today (and picked up by many other outlets) with an enormous pinch of salt for two reason (mini thread):

WEC seeks views on statutory paternity and shared parental leave - Committees - UK Parliament The Women and Equalities Committee (WEC) is today (Friday, 6 December) launching a call for written evidence on statutory paternity and shared parental leave to examine options for reform.

With our first child my husband and I took shared parental leave (SPL) in the UK - it was a great experience, but financially costly.

It shouldn't be that way in my view. So take the opportunity to share your experiences with SPL with the gov. here:

Sadly I don’t have tips - never written a book 😬 but given the big populism/radical right scholarly community in the Netherlands there must be lots of interest I would think!
