Voting like a boss
This research aims to explore the role of ILT in the context of political voting behavior. In attempting to understand political outcomes, emphasis has traditionally focused on characteristics of political leaders and more recently, follower characteristics. However, individual-level implicit beliefs about what characteristics an ideal leader should possess have been largely unexamined in the political context. Design/methodology/approach Data we…
Response to Margaret Perez Brower’s Review of Inequality Across State Lines
Obstacles to Federal Policy Adoption
A core tenet of representation is that individuals should expect government to actively protect their human security. In the issue area of domestic violence in the United States, government largely fails to do this for women, who comprise three-quarters of all victims of domestic violence. Nowhere is this more apparent than for Native American women living on tribal lands. In terms of lifetime physical violence, nearly 52% of Native American wome…
Inequality across State Lines
In the United States, one in four women will be victims of domestic violence each year. Despite the passage of federal legislation on violence against women beginning in 1994, differences persist across states in how domestic violence is addressed. Inequality Across State Lines illuminates the epidemic of domestic violence in the U.S. through the lens of politics, policy adoption, and policy implementation. Combining narrative case studies, surve…
Federalism, Policy Diffusion, and Gender Equality
This work explores the ways that federalism exacerbates gender inequality among women by explaining the adoption of domestic violence laws across different states in the context of policy diffusion. Using an original dataset of domestic violence firearm law (DVFL) enactments across all 50 states in the United States from 1990 to 2017, we analyze the circumstances under which states will adopt these laws. Using a set of political and demographic i…
Litigating Lives and Gender Inequality
In this article, we show that domestic violence public policies are implemented inconsistently across states under federalism. Using original survey data of public defenders across 16 states, with data on domestic violence laws, we demonstrate that there are differing policies and implementation practices regarding domestic violence cases depending on where they are adjudicated. State level domestic violence laws, such as mandatory arrest and fir…

Moving on Up? The Gendered Ambitions of State-Level Appointed Officials
Many scholars have offered explanations as to why women are underrepresented at all levels of government. Conventional wisdom states that fewer women are in public office due to lower ambition, and that the presence of gendered perceptions among women considering elected office contributes to women’s disinterest in the political arena. Using original survey data, this article expands the theory of gendered perceptions to current state-level appoi…
