I’m SO very excited to announce that I’ve received a 2022 National Science Foundation (NSF) Graduate Research Fellowship (GRF). I’m so grateful to be considered among an elite group of fellows and receive this significant national accomplishment. #phdchat

Maya Dalton, a political science graduate student, and Giancarlo Visconti have a new paper, “Representation Behind Closed Doors: The Effect of Electing Women Mayors on Domestic Violence,” forthcoming in the Journal of Politics.

The NSF GRFP solicitation has been posted. Only first year graduate students are allowed to apply (and undergrads). What about all the second-year students who have been working hard on their applications for months!? And to give absolutely no notice or explanation is absurd!

Staring at your draft for 6 hours willing it to be good

This weekend, I’m in Ann Arbor for the annual Peace Science Society meeting — I’ll be presenting my gender quotas and electoral violence paper tomorrow at 2pm at the Michigan League! #PhDChat #PSSI2024

Third year of the PhD, I've made the mistake of reading too much of the literature. There are no gaps in the literature. It's so over

So thankful to have the opportunity to collaborate on a chapter for this handbook! 📚 Check out the first chapter below:

A wonderful #APSA2024 in Philly! I presented my working paper examining electoral violence and gender quotas, and met up with some fellow Deacs. 🎩🎩 @WFUAlumni

In other news, vibes after getting an R&R on a paper in the works for ~3 years. #PhDChat #AcademicChatter

[Maya A. Dalton @MayaADalton]

Kicking off #APSA24 bright and early tomorrow morning in the Democratic Backsliding panel (📍8am in Marriot, Franklin 6). I’ll be presenting my master’s thesis examining the relationship between implementation gender quotas and electoral violence. #PhDChat

You’re not demure, you’re in grad school

My tenure with the NEH will extend through the fall, & I’m excited to continue working on this project. I want to shed light on the beautiful culture within Appalachia, & share my findings more publicly with the humanities councils within each state! 🏔️ #Humanities #Appalachia

[Maya A. Dalton @MayaADalton]

This summer, I’ve had the wonderful opportunity to intern with @NEHgov, specifically with the Office of Data and Evaluation. During this time, I worked on numerous projects and got to see the behind the scenes of grant-making processes. (Cont’d)

[Maya A. Dalton @MayaADalton]

My individual project looks at the health of the humanities in Appalachia (born and raised 💛), and I’m currently working on an interactive Shiny dashboard and accompanying report on this analysis. (Cont’d)

[Maya A. Dalton @MayaADalton]

Successfully defended my Master’s thesis this morning! One step closer to the PhD. Thank you to my amazing committee for all of your feedback and support! 😁 #PhDChat #AcademicChatter
