The (Not So) Angry Black Woman: How Emotions Influence Political Participation of Black Women
The political participation of Black women has important consequences for electoral outcomes in the US, yet little is known about whether and how affect (both negative and positive) influences this group’s engagement in American politics. Despite the prevalent stereotype that Black women are “angry,” scholarly exploration of the effects of the emotions of these women is rare. In this paper, we highlight a gap in theories that center on Black wome…
The Spread of Symbolic Policies: Juneteenth, Interests, and Representation in the U.S. States
Decades of policy diffusion research support the notion that governments’ policy adoptions are conditional on other governments’ policy choices. However, the theory of policy diffusion has only been tested on substantive rather than symbolic policies. This is surprising because ceremonial bills and resolutions can comprise a sizable portion of legislation proposed and passed by national and subnational governments. We leverage the spread of Junet…

Are We All Alright? The Influence of Socioeconomic Status on Black Women's Political Beliefs and Policy Preferences by Region
Black women have come to be seen as a dominant force in American politics-particularly in support of the Democratic party. However, this dominance in the political sphere has not translated to dominance in the economic sphere. Despite Black women's outperformance of their Black male peers in higher education outcomes and overrepresentation in the labor force, there is still an economic gap between Black women and their male counterparts. In addit…
Support for ranked choice voting across party and race: Results from a national survey experiment
This paper presents results from a series of survey experiments testing the effects of various arguments on relative evaluations of ranked-choice (RCV) and choose-one ballots. We examine data from the 2020 Collaborative Multiracial Post-Election Survey (CMPS), allowing for comparisons across racial groups. Reformers have emphasized the voter's ability to have their vote transferred to a lower-ranked candidate as a positive aspect of the system. H…
Expanding Publication Opportunities: Different Types of Political Science Journal Articles
In the field of political science, scholars can contribute to the growing literature on gender and politics in multiple ways. While research articles remain important for scholars to communicate their research, they are not the only way. Scholars might consider other means to contribute to the scholarship, such as through research notes, book reviews, and review essays (a particular type of literature review). Specific to Politics & Gender , Crit…

Getting out the Black Vote in Washington DC: A Field Experiment
Scholars and practitioners have long understood the importance of mobilization for increasing voter turnout, particularly the power of personal contact to increase voter participation in low-propensity communities of color. Compared to research focused on other communities, however, less is known about how Black voters respond to encouragements to vote. This lacuna in the literature can be attributed both to the political capture of Black voters …

Postcolonial Islam in My Son the Fanatic: From Deobandi Revivalism to the Secular Transposition of the Sufi Imaginary
Set in the early 1990s, Hanif Kureishi’s short story “My Son the Fanatic” (1997) dramatizes tensions between Parvez, a lapsed Pakistani Muslim migrant to postcolonial England, and his son Ali, who rejects the western secularity of his father and reverts to a strict form of fundamentalist Islam. If these tensions remain unresolved in the story, Kureishi’s film adaptation elaborates them. In so doing, though, My Son the Fanatic (dir. Udayan Prasad …
Riled up about running for office: Examining the impact of emotions on political ambition
After the 2016 presidential election, there has been a wave of increased interest in running for office that has been anecdotally associated with anger and fear about the election outcome. Although there is a growing literature that seeks to understand how emotion matters for political action, particularly as it pertains to voting behavior, we do not know how emotions factor into one’s interest in running for office. In this study, we use data fr…

The Increasing Racialization of American Electoral Politics, 1988-2016
In this article, we examine the relationship between racial resentment and a host of political attitudes, predispositions, and behaviors across 28 years and 7 presidential elections. We find, contrary to the suggestions of recent work of the role of race in the Obama era, that the racialization of seemingly nonracial political issues began many years before the debut of Barack Obama and extends beyond his presidency. More specifically, we find, c…

Women of color candidates: Examining emergence and success in state legislative elections
Scholars conclude that increasing the number of elected women of color is vital to achieving gender and racial parity in U.S. politics. Many challenges remain, however, in order for women candidates of color to reach office in proportion to their share of the population. In this dialogue, we focus on the patterns of opportunities that women of color have used to run for state legislative office. Building on other intersectionality work within the…

Poles Apart? The Terra Nova and Fram Antarctic Expeditions and Judeo-Christian Attitudes towards Nature
This paper reflects on Amundsen's and Scott's siege of the South Pole. Although the reward of priority motivated both Antarctic explorers, the Terra Nova and the Fram Expeditions both reflect the ambiguity and ambivalence towards nature of Judeo-Christian culture, as expressed in canonical scriptures and in its historical development. The postmodern might be understood in terms of this ambiguity and ambivalence rather than in terms of efforts to …
