DESCRIPTION:In this edition of Brain Bites\, we'll delve with political sci
	entist Zahra\nRunderkamp in the connection between political life cycles a
	nd diversity in\nDutch politics. With more women and citizens from migrant
	 backgrounds\, amongst\nothers\, now taking their places at the decision-m
	aking table\, Dutch politics has\nbecome visibly more diverse in recent de
	cades. But visibility\, or presence\, is\nnot the same as inclusion. Join 
	us to learn something new and for a free\nsandwich during your lunch break
	.\n\nIn her research\, Zahra Runderkamp focuses primarily on the question:
	 what\nhappens after the elections? To answer that question\, during this 
	Brain Bites\nsession curated by SPUI25 [https://www.spui25.nl/]\, Runderka
	mp will examine the\nconcept of the political life cycle. Political career
	s consist of several\nphases\, from interest and selection to election\, e
	mployment and departure. We\nnow know a great deal about entrering politic
	s\, but far less about how many\npoliticians remain in office and how many
	 drop out. Yet it is precisely the\nunderstanding of selective dropouts – 
	when certain groups drop out more\nfrequently or more quickly – that is cr
	ucial to determining whether diversity is\nsustainable.\n\nRunderkamp take
	s you through this political life cycle and shows how it\ncurrently works 
	for women. This also involves the working conditions within\npolitics itse
	lf. Women in politics navigate a political system that was not\ndesigned f
	or them. For instance\, pregnant politicians are still required to\ntempor
	arily ‘resign’ in order to go on maternity leave. Runderkamp also explores
	\nhow we can work towards ‘genuine’ inclusion\, going beyond mere diversit
	y.\n\n\nPROGRAMME\n\n12:15 Walk in\n12:30 Programme’s opening by Revka Bij

X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:In this edition of Brain Bites, we'll delve wi
	th political scientist Zahra Runderkamp in the connection between politica
	l life cycles and diversity in Dutch politics. With more women and citizen
	s from migrant backgrounds, amongst others, now taking their places at the
	 decision-making table, Dutch politics has become visibly more diverse in 
	recent decades. But visibility, or presence, is not the same as inclusion.
	 Join us to learn something new and for a free sandwich during your lunch 
	break.       <p>In her research, Zahra Runderkamp focuses primarily on the
	 question: what happens after the elections? To answer that question, duri
	ng this Brain Bites session curated by <a href="https://www.spui25.nl/" ta
	rget="_blank">SPUI25</a>, Runderkamp will examine the concept of the polit
	ical life cycle. Political careers consist of several phases, from interes
	t and selection to election, employment and departure. We now know a great
	 deal about entrering politics, but far less about how many politicians re
	main in office and how many drop out. Yet it is precisely the understandin
	g of selective dropouts – when certain groups drop out more frequently or 
	more quickly – that is crucial to determining whether diversity is sustain
	able.</p> <p>Runderkamp takes you through this political life cycle and sh
	ows how it currently works for women. This also involves the working condi
	tions within politics itself. Women in politics navigate a political syste
	m that was not designed for them. For instance, pregnant politicians are s
	till required to temporarily ‘resign’ in order to go on maternity leave. R
	underkamp also explores how we can work towards ‘genuine’ inclusion, going
	 beyond mere diversity.</p> <h2>Programme</h2> <p>12:15 Walk in <br> 12:30
