So glad to finally see this paper in print! @henrikseeberg and I put together a dataset on the legislative agendas of 13 African countries. We hope that this resource will help advance the study of legislative politics in Africa as well as more broadly!

[Henrik Bech Seeberg @henrikseeberg]

In this study, we use @policyagendas codebook to issue categorize legislative agendas in 13 African countries over time. We show that democratic development enhances flow of information in political system and thus enlarges legislative agenda. Democracy matters!

@KooHo_jin Been doing a whole lot of talking about American politics in my CP class. Over here there is much less of a distinction. Might have even more to say next year

Excited to see this in print! What happens when women who once fought in rebel movements enter parliament?

Using new data from Uganda and Zimbabwe, @lizzie_brannon and I show that this pre-existing socialization has lasting effects on ex-rebel women MPs' behaviour in parliament

@alelov1 @LFCollege Congratulations! That's great! All the best going forward!

[Merete Bech Seeberg @mbechseeberg]

Can we convince voters to support women in elections via voter education campaigns? Or do such campaigns risk suppressing support for women candidates? New paper with @gofosu and @miwahman @The_JOP: https://t.co/VA7J4j5LJe

@kimmonismus @Scobleizer It's funny how figuring out what to do with fingers is still the big problem.

[Nikolaos Frantzeskakis @FrantzeskakisN]

@KooHo_jin Just did that to prepare for a lecture. Brought back some fond memories totally unrelated to social inquiry.

@Jodie_Boisvert Myself as well as most people I know doing a PhD had the same problem. The good thing is that in the rare occasions that you feel mentally prepared to pick up a book again, the love for reading and the enjoyment seems to still be there.

[Nikolaos Frantzeskakis @FrantzeskakisN]

@benyoel_ That's great! Congrats!
