We have a new blogpost on Inequality and Distributive Politics. This time, we engage with our town: Marburg. There is more political inequality here than what we expected. Some data, but more questions than answers! Check our blogsposts here https://t.co/FchlAlEbuM

๐งตAstonished to find this at @Stadt_Marburg bus stop. Work as bus driver: for men bc it is a cool job; for women bc allows to combine job with caring for (12-year old??) kids. Public authorities shouldnโt promote these gender norms. Econ & psych research on #genderequality shows
7/7 Why can men not value a job that leaves them time to be with their kids? Why can women not want a job because it is cool? Maybe we should try to strengthen these norms instead of promoting the existing ones in bus stops
6/7 Change BOTH norms & incentives. Make it easier for fathers to stay home; donโt make women choose between motherhood & career. In ๐ช๐ช extending fathers leave promoted gender-equal values https://t.co/CEK0FYVZsz. But fathers leave is not enough. Try to change norms directly
Pleased to share new research in Journal of Conflict Resolution by me, @s_furstenberg@S_Hellmeier & @red_scales
"The Long Arm and the Iron Fist: Authoritarian Crackdowns and Transnational Repression"
And it's open access! https://t.co/pWSvBiJT08
My article with Siddarth Swaminathan, and
@ProfVarshney on urban citizenship and democracy in India just out in American Journal of Sociology. How class and the nature of city governance shapes access to basic services.

I feel really proud of this award! Francis Wilson was an awesome role model, the type of researcher I most admire: that really cares AND really wants to find out what is going on empirically with huge integrity. Like all researchers I encountered @SALDRU1 & @DataFirstAtUCT!
What an honour for @mqpellicer and me to receive the Francis Wilson memorial prize for best article. It was a challenging paper to write, but we think Francis would've been really proud of us for this one.
