May 13, 2025
Despite the power and influence that Big Tech enjoys, Notre Dame Professor of Democracy and conference organizer David Campbell says he thinks some regulation is possible. "The issues facing us because of social media are not clearly partisan, they're not clearly red or blue," Campbell says.

In what the authors describe as a first-of-its-kind study, they followed over 6,000 adolescents into adulthood and discovered that girls who were exposed to a novel, viable woman candidate—defined as a woman running a competitive campaign for a seat previously held by a man—were significantly more likely to vote as adults. This enduring effect held even after controlling for a wide range of individual and contextual factors known to influence voter turnout.
