Friday’s workshop was a joy to host. ☺️
We brought together researchers and activists to talk about LGBTQ+ criminalization, discrimination at work and in parenting, dating bias, and how the far right weaponizes LGBTQ issues.
Grateful to everyone involved and to VU's VICES for the support. 🏳️🌈

When people hear others’ views on politically sensitive topics (e.g., migration, abortion), they quickly become disrespectful or disengage. How can we express our views in such a way that they foster respect and interaction?
@emilykubin.bsky.social, @kurtjgray.bsky.social & I studied this.

It’s #PrideMonth 🌈 & I'm proud to share my new JOP article. Using a survey experiment, I show: Republicans still penalize gay candidates. Democrats do not—but they do penalize even subtle gender nonconformity, expecting gay cands to look & sound “straight”

We rely on a visual conjoint experiment, cross-sectional data, & panel data to show that affective polarization drives the normalisation of the far right among the centre-right 🇬🇧🇪🇸

Thrilled to share my article “The Right Kind of (Gay) Man?” was accepted @thejop.bsky.social I started it as a 1st-year grad student, it became my MA, then a dissertation & job market paper. It’s the piece I’m most proud of (and relieved to finally share) 🏳️🌈 www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/...

Excited to see this in print! It speaks to a number of social science literatures—protest effectiveness, repression, propaganda, stereotypes & morality, gender & politics, and disparate treatment between & within identity categories.
