- epl.delfi.ee/artikkel/120... EPL published a leading article based on my research ahead of Estonia's local elections. Disheartening that parties still disadvantage women candidates with nominations & list placement, but after 10+ years researching this, nice to see it break into mainstream media.
- Celebrating 10 years in @nclpolitics.bsky.social (Newcastle) with a new staff card. Still can't believe I didn't lose it in all those years 😅

- Reposted by Maarja LühisteWe (@matildecer.bsky.social @nzwiener-collins.bsky.social and I) pulled off our small but mighty workshop, bridging boundaries between gender x politics subfield and quantitative methods 👧🏻📊 So grateful to @lmumuenchen.bsky.social and Fritz Thyssen Stiftung for making it possible 🤓
- Reposted by Maarja LühisteI'm hiring another postdoc (research-focused, for almost 5 years) for my @erc.europa.eu project on the educational cleavage! I'm looking for someone with strong quantitative text-analysis skills (e.g. #NLP, #LLM, etc.) to study the role of political actors in cleavage formation.
- Super excited (and relieved!) to see this paper finally published. Both men and women politicians experience incivility and, overall, the more famous they are, the more abuse they receive. BUT women in Europe receive uncivil tweets even when they're not well known www.cambridge.org/core/journal...
