Jana is standing on the left side of the panel stage presenting her paper on the political representation of women in prison in the UK. The panel chair and the three other panellists are sitting on a long table beneath the big screen on the right.

I agree; I've had 8 requests since term started in January. This labour needs to be shared and for non-gender journal folks, we don't know everything about women and gender...
We’re thrilled to announce our new Academic Advisory Board, bringing together some of the brightest minds to provide insight, data, and rigorous thinking to enhance our campaigns. Excited to collaborate and learn from their expertise! 👩🎓

🛡️ How can parliaments become more gender-sensitive?
In her latest blog, @profsarahchilds.bsky.social examines the role of male allies and champions—or whether something less heroic might be key to driving change.

Excited to see my article 'Balancing Politics and Parenthood' in EJPR is out.
In a UK study, I find that the public do not punish MPs for taking parental leave. In fact, for women there is some electoral advantage.

🚨 Post-doc opportunities at the University of Edinburgh 🚨
I am looking for two post-doctoral research fellows to join a new project (marcgeddes.uk/spark) comparing how parliaments in Europe gather, analyse and use different types of knowledge:
