Welcome to my webpage! I am an Associate Professor of Political Science at the University of Rochester. I received my Ph.D. from Harvard University in 2002. My research is on comparative politics with a focus on political party strategy and voting behavior in advanced industrial democracies. I am currently researching the role of gender in party strategy,* the impact of relative polarization on voter turnout,** whether and how niche parties are strategic, and the origins and effects of political institutions, including decentralization. *Just Published* **“When Do Männerparteien Elect Women? Radical Right Populist Parties and Strategic Descriptive Representation” (with Ana Catalano Weeks, Miki Kittilson and Hilde Coffé).

My book, Party Competition between Unequals (Cambridge University Press, 2008), received the Riker Prize (2009); the Best Book Award by the European Politics and Society Section of the APSA (2009); and the Council for European Studies Best Book Award (2010).
