The Methods faculty’s research and teaching interests encompass a wide range of approaches to empirical research, including historical, interpretivist, quantitative, formal, and experimental; and include attention to concerns with issues of research design, the logic of inference, and the nature of political inquiry. Among many other projects, our faculty have employed cutting edge methods to study the determinants of corruption within public bureaucracies, the impact of government policies on migrant flows, the consequences of experiences with the criminal justice system on political participation, the link between implicit attitudes and voting behavior, and the relationship between land reform and the stability of political regimes.
