Among other things, this rule seems like it would devastate US higher education. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

New rule requires most green-card applicants to apply from outside U.S.

Immigration lawyers say the change could impact a wide swath of people and marks an escalation in the administration’s efforts to curtail legal migration.

Trump 2 has been considerably more stable than Trump’s first admin, but 🚺 account for 4 of 5 cabinet departures, sending strong signals about whose voice belongs in decision-making. This cabinet is about to be as male as George H.W. Bush's! More on 🚺 & executive branch politics: tinyurl.com/yrvc5je7

It’s the very best time of year: commencement! So delighted to hood Dr. Annie Jarman, 14 years after my own commencement at @washu.edu I’m especially excited to help keep our WashU gender and politics community going strong. Congratulations again to Annie and to all of our amazing PhD graduates!

Happy to learn that Farida Jalalzai received the Midwest Women’s Caucus Outstanding Professional Achievement Award at this year's @mpsa.bsky.social conference! Farida is a pathbreaking scholar of 🚺 presidents and prime ministers and a generous leader and colleague. This honor is richly deserved!

Still thinking about the Spring 2026 @egenpolisci.bsky.social conference @ Stanford. Terrific papers, lightning talks and thoughtful conversations about how research can inform real-world change. Huge thanks to Solé Prillaman for organizing such a rich event. kingcenter.stanford.edu/events/confe...

Proud of Dr. Annie Jarman for defending her thesis, Breaking the Glass Screen: Gendered Hostility Online and Women’s Political Representation. She examines the gendered online hostility 🚺 politicians face and how it shapes nascent + progressive ambition. Learn more: anniejarman.github.io/index.html

Our @cambup-polsci.cambridge.org author shared insights from her book: “The truth is, they’d always been standing in political quicksand. As @zeynsom.bsky.social describes in her book “Glass Ceilings, Glass Cliffs, and Quicksands,” female leaders often operate in more precarious environments.”

The same people who claim they want to "defend women." Gender studies departments have incredibly committed instructors. They get students to read, write, and think, exposing them to interdisciplinary coursework that helps them make sense of the world. They do this with limited resources & support.

Breaking News: Texas A&M ended its women’s studies program and changed hundreds of courses over race and gender to comply with new policies limiting how race and gender ideology may be discussed in classrooms.

One of my favorite Christmas gifts this year was "The Politics of Perception," sent to me by the brilliant author, @kstauffer.bsky.social. It's a must-read book about how & why Americans' (mis)perceptions of 🚺's political representation influence their efficacy, trust, approval of institutions.

All articles from our 2025 volume can be accessed here - https://cup.org/49tQEFp #OpenAccess

Does news about a more diverse Congress change how Americans see democracy? In POQ, Olson et al. find that diversity boosts Democrats’ trust in Congress, has no effect on Republicans, and does not weaken support for democratic norms. Read now: doi.org/10.1093/poq/...

🚨Free book alert (for 2 weeks)! In her new CUP Element, @caglayanbaser.bsky.social shows that rebel groups with♀️combatants are seen as more gender-equal, democratic and morally legitimate, even when they perpetrate violence. This increases public support for government sponsorship of rebel groups!

Caglayan Baser@caglayanbaser.bsky.social · 7mo ago

🎉New book alert! 📢Do female combatants shape foreign support for rebel groups? My new @cambup-polsci.cambridge.org book shows that groups with women fighters receive more foreign backing because they’re seen as more democratic, gender equal and less violent. 🔓Free to read for 2 weeks👇

Now on my substack, Gender Gap: 5 notable gaps discussed in 2025. 1. leaving the U.S. 2. marriage aspirations 3. social media use 4. loneliness 5. college plans I picked these bc they signal how men/women structure their social lives and are imagining their futures. substack.com/home/post/p-...

Excited that "Race, Gender, and Nascent Political Ambition" is now out in @bjpols.bsky.social. W/ survey of white, Hispanic, and Black American respondents, we show primary gap in nascent political ambition is not between men and women but between white men and the majority of the polity.

I once had the privilege of teaching a women & politics courses at Texas A&M. I inherited the class from a colleague, but I made it fully my own (no one double-checked my syllabi). And the course addressed gender, sexuality, and intersectionality—b/c, obvi. I have never enjoyed teaching more! 1/

The Associated Press@apnews.com · 9mo ago

Texas A&M University adopts a policy requiring professors to get approval from the school president to discuss certain race and gender issues.

Feeling grateful to @jennpiscopo.bsky.social for including our co-authored @apsrjournal.bsky.social article on gender quotas in this piece for @policyoptions.irpp.org. Despite pundits' fears, we find that 🚹's overrepresentation is much more corrosive to democratic legitimacy than gender quotas.

Jennifer Piscopo@jennpiscopo.bsky.social · 9mo ago

For @policyoptions.irpp.org, I wrote about how Canada lags its European and Anglo peers in electing women to parliament, how that harms their reputation, and, drawing on research w/ @dzobrien.bsky.social & Amanda Clayton, why voters prefer gender parity. policyoptions.irpp.org/2025/10/gend...

I’m really proud of (and grateful to) my colleagues for writing this op-ed. As a @washu.edu alumna and faculty member, I forcefully echo their statement. Faculty excellence and student success should be our lodestar. Signing the compact moves us further from those aims.
