Interview with Dr Catherine Bolzendahl

Dr Bolzendahl is an associate professor in the department of sociology at UCI. Dr Bolzendahl's ongoing work focuses on better understanding the institutionalization of gender within political organizations and legislative institutions, with a recent publication in Gender & Society and a chapter in a forthcoming edited volume with colleagues Amy Alexander and Farida Jalalzai. Her book Measuring Women’s Political Empowerment across the Globe (2018; Palgrave) brings together an international group of scholars and is the first theoretical treatment of the diverse, multi-level, international issues at the center of measuring women’s political empowerment.
