Political
Polarization and Representation
 |
Bridging
the study of political behavior and political institutions, I have
analyzed the behavior of various political actors in an era of
polarized politics: Congress, the Supreme Court, and the mass public. I
am specifically interested in how the representativeness of
institutions affects public support for them.
