Die beiden Herren im Vorschaubild gilt es zu ignorieren, es geht um einen viel interessanteren Kollegen bei uns am Fachbereich. Daniel Höhmann ordnet im «Echo der Zeit» (ab 28:47) ein, warum Riehen ein politischer Sonderfall ist: ungewöhnlich viele junge Menschen im Parlament – und was das bedeutet.

Today’s International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women is a timely reminder that violence against women also threatens gender equality in politics. Our study shows how online abuse discourages young women from entering and staying in politics.
Sexist harassment on online platforms discourages young women from getting involved in politics, as shown by a new study by @dahoehmann.bsky.social, Tomoko Latteier and @stefaniebailer.bsky.social. The consequences are not only borne by those directly affected, with democracy also being harmed.
Our new study in @jwpp.bsky.social shows that online abuse on social media discourages young women from pursuing political offices—before their actual political careers have even begun. with @dahoehmann.bsky.social and Tomoko Latteier www.tandfonline.com/doi/epdf/10....

Ein wichtiger Punkt, den @dahoehmann.bsky.social hervorhebt, ist die ungleiche Repräsentation im Parlament: „Der Bauernverband hat beste Verbindungen ins Parlament und deutlich mehr Einfluss als andere Lobbys. Das ist international gesehen ein Unikum.“ @unibas.ch @dgw.philhist.unibas.ch

Politicians' personality traits affect their attitudes towards gender equality. In a new paper in LSQ, Corinna Kroeber and I show that the higher MPs score on the Openness trait, the more they support the representation of gender equality. doi.org/10.1111/lsq....
Personality and political representation—How personality traits shape MPs' attitudes toward gender equality

The paper shows that in modern-day parliaments, there are still deeply-rooted traditional attitudes towards gender equality and what roles men and women should play. This constitutes a major impediment to the achievement of gender equality.
