How do gendered beliefs impact reactions to terrorism?

Masculine honor ideology and Neosexism are correlated with support for torture of suspected terrorists, but provoke differing emotional responses.

Legacies of Wartime Sexual Violence: Survivors, Psychological Harms, and Mobilization

Legacies of Wartime Sexual Violence: Survivors, Psychological Harms, and Mobilization By Summer Lindsey, Rutgers University and Carlo Koos, University of Bergen What are the psychological, social, and political legacies of sexual violence in armed conflicts? While conventional wisdom expects the exclusion of survivors from their societies due to stigma, we advance a theory of sociopolitical mobilization among wartime sexual violence survivors and their households.

Why do authoritarian-leaning leaders target women’s and LGBTQ+ rights? Is there a systematic pattern that reaches beyond individual country cases, and how is this reflected in people’s attitudes and societal norms?

As political scientists, we really want to know when, where, and why people mobilize against repressive governments.

So sorry to hear this! Such a loss for research!

Laura Huber @laurahuber.bsky.social · Apr 26

A huge loss not just for research, but also for the police and citizens worldwide who will lose out on the training, knowledge, and decreased violence this research focuses on.

It's hard to find the words. NSF just terminated the grant for Journeys, a mentoring workshop that tried to tackle underrepresentation of women in international relations. Future scholarship will be the worse for it. But this photo from our last gathering will motivate me to keep fighting.

Excited to share that this paper is now forthcoming at the Journal of Politics. It has been a looooooong journey (5 years in the making)! Too many people to thank but most importantly my advisors, three anonymous reviewers and the people of Bihar - forever indebted to their generosity. #gendersky

Rithika Kumar @rithikakumar.bsky.social · Dec 20

I’m new here & thought I'd share a snippet of my work! In this working paper I use a face-to-face survey exp, an original survey and a panel to show that the male migration disrupts the household status quo by creating the routine absence of men leading to the feminization of political engagement.
