Excited to see my first solo-authored paper online. I examine the effect of gender on bill approval & find that women are less likely to gain approval for their bills not because they are women, but because they lack access to leadership positions.

Our new paper on human rights treaty ratification is available on FirstView @PoliticsGenderJ. We find that women’s legislative representation leads to an increase in the ratification of HR treaties (with Nicholas Coulombe and Jessica Edry). Read more here: https://t.co/wOB6Guawcw

Finance is a Feminist Issue 💥

[Women in Legislative Studies @W_inLS]

Are women as effective as men at passing legislation? In @LSQjournal, @KaitlinSenk uses causal mediation analysis to show indirect effects of gender on bill approval: women are marginalized from institutional positions associated with higher approval. https://t.co/pRHxplU1Zm

[University of Exeter News @UniofExeterNews]

Fantastic to see research by @KaitlinSenk from @exeterpolitics showing nominating and electing more female politicians can help to diffuse polarisation and reduce levels of hostility and distrust mentioned as part of this editorial

[Kaitlin Senk @KaitlinSenk]

So excited to see this chapter from my dissertation in print @PGI_WPSA! I find that more senior women legislators are more likely to introduce women’s rights legislation. This means that political security is one factor which explains variation in women’s substantive rep.

[Politics, Groups, & Identities @PGI_WPSA]

What prevents women legislators from prioritizing the interests of women? @KaitlinSenk identifies this factor as being a sense of political security, meaning that senior women legislators are more likely to substantively represent women.
