In the 14 January 2025 episode of the Geneva Graduate Institute's "What Matters Today" podcast, Nicole Bourbonnais, Associate Professor of International History and Politics and Co-Director of the Gender Centre, offers her insights on how gender dynamics influenced the election outcomes in the 2024 US Presidential Election. 

In this latest episode, Nicole Bourbonnais discusses the significance of Susie Wiles' appointment as the first woman White House Chief of Staff and the broader implications of Trump's women cabinet picks. Together with host Dan Graham, she examines the impact of the overturning of Roe v. Wade on the gender voting gap. Dr Bourbonnais also shares her perspectives on the potential international repercussions of Trump's election for gender dynamics, as well as on what can be expected from gender equality advocates during his second term.
