Intersectionality as a Normative and Empirical Paradigm

Ange‐Marie Hancock · 1 Jun 2007

In the 10 years that I have conducted intersectional research, my views have changed significantly in terms of how I conceptualize the subspecialization.

Gender Quotas and Women's Substantive Representation: Lessons from Argentina

Mona Lena Krook · 1 Sep 2006

In recent years, more than a hundred countries have adopted quotas for the selection of female candidates to political office. Examining individual cases of quota reform, scholars offer four basic causal stories to explain quota adoption: Women mobilize for quotas to increase women's representation, political elites recognize strategic advantages for supporting quotas, quotas are consistent…
