Thanks for the kind invitation and the warm welcome!
It was great to see so many colleagues.
I am very grateful for the collegial atmosphere and for the many thoughtful and insightful comments on our work in progress.
Occasions like these are a great reminder of why I enjoy research so much!!
If you happen to be in Madrid, don’t miss the opportunity to join us. 8M is approaching, and having @francescafeo.bsky.social is a good way to remember the need to recognize and study the existence of gender inequalities in the political realm. Are you going to miss it?
Glad to start this new adventure in such a good company!
Laura, @pcaravantes.bsky.social and I are happy to receive submissions! Do you want to contribute to #GenderingDemocracy 🌈and have idea, data, opinion you want to share? Write to us!

Excited to start this new adventure as co-editor of the “🌈 Gendering Democracy” series for @ecprtheloop.bsky.social together with @pcaravantes.bsky.social and Laura Eigenmann!

🌈 Hi everyone!

👉 And on December 4 with @payoub.bsky.social and Samuel Whitt!
Side note: just outside my office stands this quote from The Second Shift by Arlie Hochschild – a fitting reminder as I finalise an article on the gendered impact of parenthood on politicians' political work. 🔥
🚨Excited to begin my research stay at the Institute of Sociology, @freieuniversitaet.bsky.social, hosted by Prof. @bcastanho.bsky.social.

If you want to learn more about the Vatican‘s central role in this, you should read Ayoub and Stoeckl‘s new book on the global fight against LGBTI rights
nyupress.org/978147982479...
The Vatican under Pope Francis was a driving force behind the movement against “gender ideology”. It has not only massively empowered anti-LGBTQ+ hostility but provided an essential building block for current gloabl far-right authoritarianism. It‘s infuriating to see the undifferentiated praise.
