Translating my research into action is a top priority. I advise policymakers, think tanks, and international organizations on the evidence-based practices that boost women’s political participation and advance gender equality.
In addition to talking about women, gender, and elections worldwide, I also talk about U.S. politics for international outlets like CNN Chile and Peru’s La Republica, and about Latin American politics for U.S. outlets like The Journal of Democracyand the Democracy Nerd podcast.
Women are underrepresented in politics across the globe. My research explains why women’s exclusion matters and how it can change.
I am a leading expert on the adoption, design, and implementation of electoral gender quotas– laws that require political parties to run certain proportions of women candidates.
