We find that any given woman has relatively more influence in group deliberations when women make up a larger share of the group. This change is driven by men's improved assessments of women's influence as deliberations shift to aspects of the problem within women's domains.
I'm happy to share a new publication on women's representation in deliberative fora w/ Amanda Clayton, Boniface Dulani, and Katrina Kosec. We randomize the gender composition of groups tasked with discussing deforestation in Malawi. Published open access: doi.org/10.1111/ajps...
It was an immense pleasure to host #WGAPE at OSU’s Mershon Center last weekend. We discussed fascinating papers and ate delicious food from Tanzania, Senegal, Nigeria, Kenya, and Somalia (huge Columbus perk).
More books = more cake! We are very lucky to have such brilliant colleagues at OSU. Congrats to Erin Lin, Jan Pierskalla, and Molly Ritchie.
