We are happy to release Version 4 of WhoGov, which expands WhoGov to 2025. It now contains data on cabinet members from 1966-2025.
The update is supported by UiO:Democracy and can be downloaded through GETGOV's page or through Nuffield College: politicscentre.nuffield.ox.ac.uk/whogov-datas....

Version 4 is also the last business as usual update of WhoGov.
We are working towards a more automated workflow using coding agents. This will allow us to release updates more frequently and move away from the yearly format. Furthermore, we are adding Wikidata ID, more portfolios, and more.
Thrilled to share that this August I'll be joining the Clements Center for National Security at UT Austin as an Associate Professor. Returning home to teach security studies, strategy, and statecraft has been a goal of mine since starting graduate school. Grateful to everyone who helped me get here.
New publication!
