Betsy Sinclair

I am an Assistant Professor in political science at the University of Chicago. My research interests include American politics, political methodology and the relationship between empirical data and formal theory. I am particularly interested in the political influence of individuals on each other and the social foundations of political ideology and behavior. My other interests are broadly defined as those involving voting and elections and range from evaluating the consequences of different voting technologies to developing techniques to conduct matching with a multi-valued treatment to comparing theoretical predictions of strategic voting to outcomes in Britain.
