Linda Fowler's CV

B.A., Political Science, Smith College
M.A., Ph.D., Political Science, University of Rochester

"My teaching and research agendas have always been interconnected because I focus on practical politics. I use social science methods to examine how institutions work in the American democracy and then convey the consequences to students as citizens and future leaders."
