Thrilled to be at #ICFP in #Bogota to chat all things #SRHR #Gender #Abortion #Politics hit me up!
I'll be presenting on (1) the politics of data in male engagement, (2) how data tools construct gendered realities, and (3) how surveys can be more feminist in understanding effects. Come find me!

Let’s stop asking why women aren’t having children and ask, for once: why aren’t men? | Rhiannon Lucy Coslett
On the whole, men I’ve spoken to – like women – want children. But a host of issues, from housing to mental health, is getting in the way, says Guardian columnist Rhiannon Lucy Cosslett

Events FemQuant—September Seminar: Invisible Biases, Unequal Outcomes: Uncovering Gender Biases in Quantitative Research on Older Adults September 18th, 2025 at 10:00 ET/15:00 GMT/16:00 CT: signup form here. Description: This presentation delineates gender-specific biases inherent in research on inequalities among older adults with regard to two components of quantitative analyses: the sample definition and the methodological approach. First, I argue that prevalent sample definitions for the elderly, the self-reported retirement status and pension receipt, are conceptualized around the notion of idealized male-typical biographies, and that using such sample criteria leads to country-specific gender biases.
