DESCRIPTION:November 30\, 2017\n\nThe Centre for the Study of Democratic Ci
 tizenship has the pleasure to announce that on November 30 and December 1\
 , 2017 it will host a symposium to mark the 70th birthday of its founding 
 Director Elisabeth Gidengil. Dr Gidengil is Canada's pre-eminent scholar o
 n political behaviour\, gender and diversity\, and the media\, and has bee
 n a pioneering force in political science in Canada and abroad.\n\nThe sym
 posium entitled 'Trends and New Directions in Canadian Political Behaviour
 ' will take place at the Faculty Club of McGill University in Montreal.  T
 he public keynote presentation by Susan Banducci (University of Exeter)\, 
 entitled “Twice as Hard\, Half as Good? Reconciling Gendered Voting and Wo
 men’s Electoral Success” will start at 6pm on Thursday November 30\, follo
 wed by a reception.\n\nAbstract: There is a large body of research with co
 nsistent results showing that gender stereotypes are to be found in the me
 dia coverage of elections and the minds of voters. How can these findings 
 be reconciled with the finding that when women choose to run for elected o
 ffice that they do as well as men? How are women candidates able to achiev
 e relatively equal levels of success when faced with gender stereotypes? R
 ecent scholarship based on the US case argues that gender neutral election
  outcomes are not necessarily a result of gender neutral election inputs. 
 Instead\, fulfilling the adage that women must do twice as well to be thou
 ght half as good as men\, the self-screening and greater campaign efforts 
 of female candidates in anticipation of voter discrimination may allow the
 m to achieve equal outcomes. In considering these propositions\, I draw on
  Professor Elisabeth Gidengil’s key contributions to the comparative study
  of women\, media and elections to understand the role of gender in electi
 on media coverage\, voter responses and candidate success.\n\nOrganization
 al committee: Allison Harell\, Melanee Thomas\, Jason Roy\, Elizabeth Good
 year-Grant\, Dietlind Stolle\, and Cameron Anderson. This symposium is mad
 e possible thanks to a Connection grant of the Social Sciences and Humanit
 ies Research Council of Canada\, and financial support of the Canadian Opi
 nion Research Archive\, the Faculty of Arts at McGill University\, and the
  Department of Political Science at McGill University.\n\n\n			\n		\n			\n
