Had a great time with the folks on the LGBTQ+ politics panels today at #SPSA2023

Great news from Barbados 🇧🇧: according to local organisations, laws criminalising ‘buggery’ and ‘serious indecency’ have been repealed! In 2022, three Caribbean countries have seen similar judgements: congratulations to all those who fought so hard to see this change happen!

Are you working with the @vdeminstitute Episodes of Regime Transformation (ERT) Dataset? We are putting together an #APSA2023 panel addressing autocratization episodes. DM or email me if you'd like to participate. Grad students and early career encouraged!
