Current Position: Bio: My research agenda can be further split into two strands. First, I study the political economy of public policy, i.e., how well a government achieves its policy goals. Second, I examine the cohesion and survival of democratic institutions. Aligning with the tradition of comparative political economy, my research holds implications across American and comparative politics. I hold a BA from Washington University in St. Louis and an MSc from the London School of Economics, both in political economy. I also hold an MA in Economics and an MPhil in Political Science from Yale University. Outside of academia, I’m an avid rock climber and mountaineer. I’m also quite fond of scones.

Dipin Kaur Contact Information: PhD Awarded: 2022-2023 |
|
Current Position: Bio: Her research focuses on ethnicity and state strategy in the shadow of political violence, with a regional focus on South Asia and the British Empire. In her ongoing book project, she investigates why states collaborate with coethnics (i.e., individuals belonging to the same ethnic groups as insurgents) in response to some conflicts, but rely on ethnic outgroups in others. She deploys a variety of empirical methods, including qualitative interviews from multi-site fieldwork, archival research, counterfactual analysis, and quantitative analysis of medium-n observational and survey data. Her other work – published in the American Journal of Political Science and Social Text – studies gender dynamics, public opinion-building in conflict, and the politics of post-conflict transitional justice. Dipin completed her Ph.D. in Political Science from Yale University in 2022 and received a Bachelors in Political Science from the University of California, Berkeley, in 2016.

The experiments are collectively called KiuFunza, a portmanteau of the Kiswahili words that mean “thirst to learn”.

Michael Weaver PhD Awarded: 2016-2017 |
Current Position: Bio: His current project, a book on the public acceptability of lynching, argues that changes in the reach and inclusivity of publicity enable and constrain both criticism and justification of violence. This work draws on extensive historiography of lynching and novel historical newspaper data to trace both the emergence and rise to dominance of white supremacist narratives that justified lynching in the wake of Reconstruction as well as the proliferation of critiques levelled by both African Americans and white opponents of lynching. In addition to his work on lynching, Weaver’s other work examines the effects of electing ethnic political parties and violence in India and Indonesia, the effects of military service in the American Civil War on racial attitudes, and the effects of inflammatory political rhetoric on violence. His research has been published in the American Political Science Review and the Quarterly Journal of Political Science. Prior to joining our Department, Weaver was a Collegiate Assistant Professor at the University of Chicago (2016-2017), and a Statistical Consultant at Yale University StatLab. He earned his BA at the University of Chicago. |

Luis Schiumerini PhD Awarded: 2014-2015 |
Current Position: Bio: My research uses tools of causal inference to examine how citizens engage democracy in the developing world, with a focus on Latin America. My research has been published or is forthcoming at The Journal of Politics, British Journal of Political Science, Journal of Conflict Resolution, Perspectives on Politics, and at University of Michigan Press. My book project, Incumbency Bias, proposes a novel behavioral theory to account for incumbency advantage and disadvantage in developing democracies, and takes advantage of causal evidence from Latin America. I earned a Ph.D. in Political Science from Yale University and a B.A. in Political Science from Universidad Torcuato Di Tella.

Celia Paris Contact Information: PhD Awarded: 2013-2014 |
Current Position: Bio: I was previously an assistant professor at Loyola University Maryland, where I taught a variety of courses including Public Opinion and American Democracy, Media and Politics, and Environmental Politics. I received my PhD in Political Science from Yale University in 2014. My research uses survey experiments, along with media content, focus groups, and political theory, to illuminate how people make sense of the everyday messages they receive about government and politics. My scholarly work seeks to clarify how the public reacts to a variety of complex political stimuli, including news reports about debates in Congress, candidate messaging about qualifications for office, loaded political categories like “welfare” and “assistance to the poor,” and even fictional portrayals of unjust totalitarian governments. I have published articles in The Journal of Politics, Public Opinion Quarterly, Perspectives on Politics, and Legislative Studies Quarterly. Dissertation: Can’t They All Just Get Along?

Sonali Chakravarti PhD Awarded: 2008-2009 |
Current Position: Bio: Her book Radical Enfranchisement in the Jury Room and Public Life (University of Chicago Press, 2019) considers what it would mean to change the way we educate jurors to make them more aware of the distinctive role they play in legitimating (and denying) punishment enacted by the state. Radical enfranchisement requires a more ambitious standard for civic education and is motivated by two sets of ideals: the first is accuracy in assessing evidence without recourse to bias and the second is a heightened appreciation for the authority a jury has to legitimate or deny punishment for the defendant as a decision distinct from their reflection on the evidence. The book posits three key moments in the trial: the standard of reasonable doubt, the hung jury, and jury nullification as critical to fomenting the ideal of radical enfranchisement.
