Very happy that we were able to contribute to the Gendering Democracy Series for International Women's Day by showcasing part of our study on online and offline sexism during the 2024 elections.
Results on the consequences and a call for action 👇

🇧🇪 A study by @CoffeHilde & colleagues on the 2024 legislative elections in #Belgium reveals how sexist attacks, #stereotypes & dismissals are damaging the careers of women candidates & discouraging future leaders. bit.ly/41J1inT
Politiek dan toch nog steeds vooral een mannenzaak? De evolutie in de samenstelling van de federale regering toont een spijtige daling van het aantal vrouwen in ministeriële functies. Meer diversiteit aan tafel zorgt nochtans voor beter beleid.
Our new (Open Access!) article on vertical affective polarization in the context of Flanders (Belgium) and how gender intersects with this phenomenon has been published in @PolLowCountries. @Bram_Wauters

Through an online survey experiment, we examine whether gender dissimilarity and gender-based stereotyping impact how voters evaluate politicians’ likability and psychological traits based on ideological disagreement.
Beyond the moon with this amazing opportunity to further explore the origins, prevalence and impact of ideological position stereotypes! Can't wait to get this first official UGent-VUB collaboration between @Bram_Wauters, @devoscarl and myself going :-)
🎉 It’s a good day for GASPAR 🎉
@anna_a_kern received FWO funding for her junior project on losers’ consent in the context of major policy decisions and @Bram_Wauters, @robindevroe and @devoscarl for the senior IdeoPos project.
Congrats to all four! 🥂

With 13 stellar candidates to choose from, it will be a difficult choice..
Relevant and inspiring discussion this morning in the the online panel on Women in Politics organized by @CCRECEMR.
How can the data and academic work affect policies as well?
@robindevroe explained how policymakers can work together with academia, to integrate the findings of research into the policy framework.

Wat de hoogdag van de democratie zou moeten zijn, werd gisteren vooral gekenmerkt door een lage opkomst en lege stembureaus. Enkele hersenspinsels bij @Knack over waarom onze democratie geen experiment is.

Sneak peek van de eerste resultaten van ons onderzoek naar seksisme tijdens de verkiezingscampagne van juni 2024. Mooie samenwerking tussen @Gaspar_UGent en @SciencePoULB in opdracht van IGVM/IEFH!
We (@Gaspar_UGent & @SciencePoULB) analyseerden in opdracht van het IGVM meer dan 44.000 reacties op berichten van mannelijke en vrouwelijke kandidaten tijdens de meest recente verkiezingscampagne.
🧵Een draadje met de belangrijkste bevindingen:

Opiniestuk ! ✍️
Collega @robindevroe schreef een stuk voor @Knack over de historische mijlpaal van 6 vrouwen in de #Vlareg waarvan ook 2 vice-minister-president zijn. Resultaat van langetermijneffecten genderquota? En wat kunnen we nu verwachten?
