Assistant Professor Hanno Hilbig publishes on gendered legacies of authoritarian indoctrination in BJPS

Professor Hanno Hilbig has published "The Gendered Persistence of Authoritarian Indoctrination" in the British Journal of Political Science with coauthors Nourhan A. Elsayed, Sascha Riaz, and Daniel Ziblatt. Using a regression kink design, the paper shows that exposure to authoritarian education in the GDR reduced support for democratic capitalism and reunification. Three decades later, these attitudinal effects persist only among men, not women, revealing gender disparities in the long-run legacies of authoritarian indoctrination. https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/british-journal-of-political-science/article/gendered-persistence-of-authoritarian-indoctrination/9FF7C98DA109B0A7E31521974A2B82FB
