Here’s another important article coming out of our candidate identity/ voter affinity research project showing that the presence of diverse candidates matters to voter engagement and political participation.

Hey Facebook, post from the girl guide of Canada that reads: Inclusion makes Girl Guides of Canada stronger. It ensures that girls and youth have a place to build confidence, develop the skills to thrive and connect with a community that sees them for who they truly are. 

Girl Guides of Canada welcomes all girls – cisgender and transgender – as well as non-binary people who are comfortable in spaces that focus on and are driven by the experience of girls.

In a Policy Options piece, our team argues that more diverse candidates could have "important positive consequences for Canadians’ trust in their politics and politicians." @kennywilliamie.bsky.social @joannaeveritt.bsky.social @mireillelalancette.bsky.social

β€˜Quiet, piggy’ and other slurs: Powerful men fuel online abuse against women in politics and media Gender-based violence in politics has democratic costs, diminishing diverse voices and expertise in public office.

In honour of the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, I'm sharing my new op-ed for The Conversation on the harms of online misogyny targeting women in public life, especially when amplified by political leaders.

Academia.edu is changing its Terms and Conditions, and they're so outrageous (AI training; signing over ownership to them etc) I closed my account today.
