PhD, Harvard, 2002. Comparative politics, political parties, party systems, elite and mass political behavior, elections in comparative perspective, and European politics. Her research on how mainstream party behavior shapes the electoral trajectories of niche parties (e.g., green, radical right, and ethnoterritorial parties) in Western Europe since 1970 is published in The American Political Science Review and is the subject of her book, Party Competition Between Unequals (Cambridge University Press, forthcoming). Her second project looks at the micro-level effects of issue salience and issue ownership on voter choice. In a third project, she studies the causes and consequences of institutional reform, with a focus on political decentralization. Teaches courses on comparative politics, political parties, elections, ethnicity and nationalism, and Western European politics.
