Ich bin Assistant Professor an der University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Im Juni 2018 schloss ich meine Promotion an der University of Wisconsin-Madison mit einem Ph.D.-Titel erfolgreich ab. Bevor ich nach Madison kam, absolvierte ich ein Magisterstudium (Abschluss 2009) in Politikwissenschaft (Nebenfach Geschichte und Frei-Kombinierbares Nebenfach, Schwerpunkt Frankreich- und Nordamerika-Studien) an der Universität Regensburg in der Oberpfalz.
Im Moment arbeite ich daran, meine Dissertation (“Patterns of Representation: Women’s Political Representation in the U.S. and the Conceptualization of Women’s Interests”) in ein Buchmanuskript umzuandeln. Zu meinen Forschungsschwerpunkten gehören politische Repräsentation, Gender und Politik, feministische Theorie, legislative Politik, Wahlen und Wahlverhalten in den USA, subnationale Politik in den USA und amerikanische politische Parteien.
Meine Dissertation beschäftigt sich mit der politischen Repräsentation von Frauen und deren Interessen im US Kongress und auf subnationaler Ebene. Zusammen mit Byron E. Shafer habe ich kürzlich ein Buchmanuskript mit dem Titel “The Social Roots of American Politics: A Widening Gyre?” abgeschlossen, welches bei der Oxford University Press erhältlich ist. Unser vorheriges gemeinsames Buchprojekt “The Long War Over Party Structure: Democratic Representation and Policy Responsiveness in American Politics” ist bei der Cambridge University Press erschienen ist.
