In this edition of Brain Bites, we explore the relationship between political life cycles and diversity in Dutch poli tics with political scientist Zahra Runderkamp. With more women and people with a migration background taking a seat at the decision-making table, D utch politics has become visibly more diverse over recent decades. But vis ibility, or presence, is not the same as inclusion. Join us to learn somet hing new and pick up a free sandwich during your lunch break.

In her research, Zahra Runderkamp focuses on one key question: what hap pens after elections? To explore this question, Runderkamp will focus on t he concept of the political life cycle during this Brain Bites session, cu rated by SPUI25. Political careers consist of several stages, from interes t and selection to election, serving in office and departure. We now know a great deal about entry into politics, but much less about how many polit icians stay and how many leave. Yet understanding selective attrition—when certain groups leave more frequently or sooner than others—is crucial to determining whether diversity is sustainable.

Runderkamp will guide you through this political life cycle and show how it currently works for women. This also involves examining working conditions within politics it self. Women in politics navigate a political system that was not designed for them. For example, pregnant politicians still have to temporarily ‘res ign’ to take maternity leave. Finally, Runderkamp will explore how we can work towards ‘genuine’ inclusion, beyond diversity alone.
