Great way to start the week: @EricaRayment 's excellent new @McGillQueensUP book arrived. Drawing from a feminist perspective and deep knowledge of the workings of Parliament, this is an excellent study of what it actually means on an everyday basis to have women in Parliament.
We were inspired by all the amazing research we heard about at our workshop in Banff last month - see also @eplusgg excellent piece on the same topic from the other week theglobeandmail.com/opinion/…
Such an amazing couple of days talking gender and politics in Banff with a fantastic group of scholars. A massive thank you to everyone who joined us and shared their research. Excited for what comes next!
