Gender, Parties, and Political Communication: Methodological Innovations in Understanding Gendered Partisanship

Abstract

This panel analyses how parties, politicians, and citizens produce, respond to, and are shaped by gendered political communication, using methodological approaches that span feminist theory, experimental designs, natural language processing, and transformer-based machine learning. Together, the papers illustrate how methodological innovation advances our understanding of gendered partisanship, affective polarisation, and party competition across European and non-European contexts.
