We are pleased to announce that the call for the 4th Annual Early Career Workshop on Social Science Approaches to Law and Courts is now live. If you are a PhD student or postdoc working in this area, you can send us your abstract via this link: qualtrics.ucl.ac.uk/jfe/form/SV_...

belatedly celebrating the successful conclusion of the third Nuffield-UCL workshop on social science approaches to law and courts. Special thanks to @icuervo.bsky.social and @egocantos.bsky.social for making everyone feel welcome in Oxford

Workshop announcement: for the third year running @uclspp.bsky.social and @nuffieldcollege.bsky.social are teaming up to bring together some of the most exciting early career researchers in Law and Courts, this year also joined by @dnaurin.bsky.social. Apply by 31 March with @icuervo.bsky.social!

Worth noting that the authors of the paper coded whether the person asking the questions is male and female. They do find evidence that it is male academics that are systematically more hostile to women (they seem to especially do it in job market talks, although those are longer seminars, etc)

“Women are asked more questions during a seminar and the questions asked of women presenters are more likely to be patronizing or hostile. These effects are not due to women presenting in different fields, different seminar series, or different topics…” www.nber.org/papers/w28494

You want a brief summary of central arguments in the party competition and political economy of redistribution literatures? Then these slides of mine might be of interest. Also ideal for discussions with your family members during the festive season. www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/ptr1s...

Have been told that I appear prohibitively intimidating in this clip. Prove the haters wrong by applying to be my friend and colleague!

Applications close soon to study a DPhil in Politics or International Relations at Oxford. Hear our students' stories. @icuervo.bsky.social is in her 3rd year as a postgraduate politics student in DPIR. She has this advice for applicants: youtu.be/eRmctznmSfQ Read more: www.ox.ac.uk/admissions/g...

How should we "draw" arguments to maximise theoretical clarity and the productivity of empirical work? Juan Masullo and I had a lot of fun convening this QMMR symposium on causal figures. Lots of disagreement on best practices, but also great advice www.qmmrpublication.com/_files/ugd/7...

It's application season and sometimes fear of rejections can keep us from applying to the places and programs we most wish to be studying at. In my experience, self-doubt is especially wide-spread amongst women in academia.
