Out now on #APSR FirstView! 🚨 Leslie Schwindt-Bayer and I use original data on audits and municipal elections, showing that women are + likely to win after corruption is revealed. This effect is driven by voters, not parties.

I’m very excited and honored to receive these awards along with @tiffanydbarnes and @SaxtonGregory

Read it now📚📖: "Incentivizing anticorruption reform: Evidence from a natural experiment in Mexican subnational legislatures" by @GustavoGuajar20 (@RicePoliSci). #anticorruption #reform #subnationallegislatures https://t.co/cR9obW9Way

New research alert! 🚨 My latest article, now online at @LSQjournal , leverages original data on anticorruption initiatives and subnational variation in term limits to show how reelection incentivized responsiveness to anticorruption demands.

The presidential campaign in #Mexico 🇲🇽 launches today. Two women compete for the job & one will surely win-- a legacy of gender parity, but in a country dubbed 'femicide nation'. My analysis in @MsMagazine. #ClaudiaPresidenta2024 #XochitlPresidenta2024

Congratulations to @GustavoGuajar20 @RiceGradSchool @RiceSocSci
