My article on women's judicial representation in Haiti is officially published in @PoliticsGenderJ! Did you know that justice reform may open up opportunities for women to access the judiciary by simply rewarding academic achievements over powerful connections?🤔

📢 New article out: Staying Power We show how political seniority—often treated as neutral experience—works as a gendered informal institution shaping access to power in parliament. @ERC_Research @TRaasen 🧵

Time is 🏃🏾‍➡️🏃🏼‍➡️🏃🏼‍♂️‍➡️! Deadline in one week. Write, submit and hope to see you in Prague - ECPR joint sessions.📍

Situation in #Haiti keeps worsening. @UN Human Rights Office now ways that between January and September of this year, nearly 4,900 people have been killed in the country and recent violence has displaced another 12K in recent weeks.

🌟 2023 was a remarkable year for new ideas and impactful scholarship in comparative constitutionalism. Here is my list of 10 must-read papers in the field, all published in 2023.

Very happy to become a part of the wonderful @GENDERSUCCESS research project to study the gender gap in political endurance with @RMuriaas, @TorillStavenes, @FrancescaFeo_1, @WangVibeke and the rest of the team at @UiB_Gov! gendersuccess.com

@JanaBelschner @mohnfoundation Fantastic news! Congratulations, and well done!

I am over the 🌖 for having received a Starting grant from @mohnfoundation for my project “Representing the Future in an Aging Europe”. With a total budget of 26 Mio NOK, we will be able to implement original research into generational politics, political demography, and voting.

📣 Out on #FirstView & #OpenAccess 📣 @RMuriaas @TorillStavenes ask whether increased levels of female representation in Europe and North America translates to more women as senior members of parliament in 'Gender and Political Seniority: Three Measures' cambridge.org/core/journals/…

@jennpiscopo @UiB_sampol Thank you so much for all your insightful questions and comments. I could not have hoped for a better committee!

It was an honor and privilege to serve as an external examiner for @TRaasen's PhD defense at @UiB_sampol on Friday. Congratulations to Dr @TRaasen for her incredible research on women judges in Haiti 🇭🇹 .
