Conference Gender Reading List
The European Journal of Politics and Gender is endorsed by the Gender and Politics Standing Group of the European Consortium for Political Research (ECPR). To celebrate our relationship with the ECPR we have created a reading list of free articles for the ECPR General Conference. This reading list explores violence against women in politics, interrogates the gender gap in political ambition and features award winning research from the journal.
The ECPR gender reading list is available for free until 30 September.
