Great to see our paper in Scientific Data. Thanks to cooperation with @michael-weiss.bsky.social, we have assembled a dataset (over 30k obs.) covering all Latin American legislators since the 1980s. This will help comparative analyses of gender, turnover, careers...

Our article with Michael Weiss @michael-weiss.bsky.social is finally assigned to an issue of Latin American Politics and Society. We find an extreme legislative turnover across Latin America @reformaslatam.bsky.social @ff.unikarlova.cuni.cz @cambup-polsci.cambridge.org @era-areas.bsky.social
We're looking for senior-level candidate (a comparativist) for a research group leader.
A job opening for comparativists!
๐ข Our new article on gender representation in academic leadership is out (open access)! We look at the case of Czech academic elections. Elections are not biased against women per se, but the large gender gap arises at the stage of running in elections.
