Very excited to share that this semester I will be a visiting student at NuffieldCESS Nuffield College and CEVIPOF - Sciences Po Sciences Po, where I will be working on my dissertation and conducting fieldwork. Big tanks to Ray Duch and Vin Arceneaux for making this possible!

📢New #PAG19 Critical Perspectives📢 @abclayton24 @dianazobrien Jennifer Piscopo in "Exclusion by Design" ask how we should re-evaluate our understandings of descriptive representation in recognizing the role of 'bad faith exclusion' in our political systems. cambridge.org/core/journals/…

Friends — this paper was a true labor of love. It’s the piece I’m proudest of, possibly ever. Please read and teach it!!

Had a great time presenting my work on candidate selection at the CEVIPOF - Sciences Po seminar “Étude quantitative des comportements politiques.” Thanks to Lou Safra for organizing and for the great feedback, as well as from Pierre-Henri Bono and the audience!

So excited to see my first solo pub now out in Political Behavior! I test if the "feminization strategy" is effective at retaining party votes after a corruption scandal in 4 LatAm democracies. Spoiler: it's not—unless you're in Guatemala! Check it out here: rdcu.be/dK6Kh

We present evidence from elite-survey data in Latin America that challenges the assumption that politicians from marginalized groups are more left-leaning than their counterparts. We hope this helps inform portrayals of HMGs' MPs, particularly by the media and public

Congratulations to Iris Acquarone on the successful defense of her dissertation, "From the Margins to the Mainstream: How Marginalization Salience Explains Diversity of Representation." Next stop, Arizona State University!

Now, officially announcing that this Fall I’m joining School of Politics and Global Studies as Presidential Postdoctoral Scholar (postdoc to tenure-track)!! Never been so eager for the next professional/life chapter to kick in. Grateful to do it in a place that already feels right.

If you haven’t had a chance to read “Financial Crises and the Selection and Survival of Women Finance Ministers”, it’s now out in print! We examine the relationships between financial crises and finance minister appointment and tenure from 1972-2017 in 202 countries. 1/🧵
