I grew up playing softball - I was the catcher, and my sister was the pitcher, so I def identified more with Dottie.

The Danger of the "News Finds Me" Mentality - News Literacy Initiative Most Americans get their information fed to them through their smartphones. Constant bombardment and easy access to headlines, video clips, and sound bites help

Assigned this podcast about "news finds me" in mass media this semester: newsliteracy.psu.edu/podcasts/epi...

🧵 Excited to share my new book w/ @hildecoffe.bsky.social : "Different and Unequal? Gendered Political Participation in European Democracies" — with @universitypress.cambridge.org Elements in Gender and Politics (open access!)

TLDR? Women don't just participate less. They participate *differently*

ICYMI my solo article on MENA identity.

When MENA Americans aren’t given a “MENA” option on forms, they answer identity-related questions on politics more strongly (eg higher end of the scale) than if“MENA” had been added.

Having the group label or not changes the average response!

Right there with ya 🙃

People are willing to forgo a significant portion of their earnings—between 12-36% of their wages—to avoid hostile work environments.

Women exhibit a stronger aversion to exclusionary workplaces and environments with sexual harassment.

I think it's interesting when older folks have first political memories of supporting the other party and wonder if polarization will make this less common for younger folks. Maybe their partisanship is baked in earlier.

I feel like there's a book project here - something pitched to a popular audience 😀

Published a political psychology book this year?

Spotted in the new books section of the library at Nuffield College @dancassino.bsky.social @monikamcd.bsky.social

I am incredibly proud that my book, co-authored with Andrea Aldrich, is published. Using an original party leadership dataset from 11 parliamentary democracies, Andrea and I show that women candidates face a glass ceiling for leadership and quickly sink once elected (the quicksand theory).

The worst happened. We were DOGE’d. Our NSF funding is gone.

So now there’s nothing stopping me from sharing Expert Voices Together, a crisis response system for US-based researchers and journalists facing harassment.

It's a true passion project. 🧵 1/

Research article "A Look Back At 20 Years of Research on Gender and Voting in Politics & Gender" by Erin C. Cassese & Amanda Friesen. Abstract reads: This essay highlights the impact of Politics & Gender on the discipline’s understanding of how gender shapes the preferences, behavior, and motivations of voters. It provides descriptive information about the prevalence of research on gender and voting in the journal, along with the proportion of articles dedicated to women voters across different regions globally. The bulk of the essay focuses on the substance of this research — drawing out major themes and identifying significant contributions within each theme — and it concludes by offering a future research agenda on gender and voting.

📢New issue of #PAG21 is out!📢

@erincassese.bsky.social & @amandafriesen.bsky.social outline the major contributions to the literature on women voters published by P&G over the last 20 years and suggest future research agendas.
