I am a political scientist, professor, and author of More Parties or No Parties: The Politics of Electoral Reform in America (2022, reviewed here). This book provides a new typology of reform coalitions and tests its usefulness against historical data on 'proportional ranked-choice voting' in U.S. cities.
I otherwise study parties, electoral systems, and American political reform. My graduate training at Georgetown University was in American and comparative politics and focused on political institutions. I am working on papers about party fragmentation, party identification, minority representation, and political discontent. This work is useful for taking advantage of openings to make liberal democracy work better.
