Spring 2022: Women Executives: Constrained or Hawkish?

Affiliations: DeBakey Executive Research Leadership Program
Project Leader: Duncan Espenshade
DuncanE98@tamu.edu
Political Science
Faculty Mentor: Michelle Taylor-Robinson, Ph.D
Meeting Times:
TBA
Team Size:
6
Open Spots: 0
Special Opportunities:
Throughout our weekly meetings, I will teach participants the basics of text analysis methods in R. If a participant’s work is exemplary, the student may be asked to continue work in the summer
Team Needs:
Basic coding skills (R), the ability to summarize academic articles, and basic data collection skills
Description:
This project will use text analysis to study the development of hawkish (militant) attitudes in female executives over time. Existing scholarship suggests that female executives do not hold hawkish preferences but are constrained by masculine norms to engage in hawkish foreign policy. This research will explore this mechanism and alternative mechanisms to further scholars’ understanding of the militant behavior of executives, gender norms in foreign policy circles, and the development of hawkish preferences in candidates over time
