Spoke to the NYT on the danger of reading too much into Son Heung-min’s interview photo — and of fuelling South Korea’s gender divide. I’d gladly carry an umbrella & interview Son any day. Don’t need a man to hold it for me. nytimes.com/2025/08/08/wor…

🚨 Representation in Japan's 2024 Lower House election 🚨
A record 73 women (15.7%) were elected Sunday, up from 45 (9.7%) in 2021 and surpassing the previous high of 11.6% set in 2009. The CDPJ led with 30 women, followed by the LDP (19) and DPP (6). www3.nhk.or.jp/news/html/2024…
Was an honour to discuss this book by @ProfPatOConnor. I still remember her very encouraging remark “if Ireland can change, so can South Korea”. A proper woman? Certainly a must read!

Great London Launch of ‘A proper woman? One woman’s story of success and failure in academia’ at Kings College. Perceptive comments by Soohyun Lee and great questions from audience.
Tks to Linda Mc Kie; Jelke Boesten and Erin Agostino who made it happen @KingsSSPP@GenderKings
Glad to see similar research on Japan re: economic insecurity & dating/marriage. But wonder how East Asia fare compared to Europe & North America re: the impact of economic security & partnership. I fear East Asian societies might be more obsessed with economic security. 💰💰

In the US, why are young men more Trumpy and young women more pro-Harris. Misogyny? Abortion? MAGA testosterone-laden male aggression? Cat ladies?
BUT a gender-generation gap has been evident in Europe for decades (cf Norris 1996). It's a persistent culture shift...
Very pleased that my new article with Timo Fleckenstein and Soohyun Christine Lee is published online in @spaajournal. It compares reforms to education and training policies in Germany and South Korea in the shift towards the knowledge economy.
