Michael G. Miller
Assistant Professor of Political Science
I am an Assistant Professor of Political Science at Barnard College. I hold a Ph.D. in Government from Cornell University (2010), an M.A. in Political Science from Minnesota State University, Mankato (2005), and a B.A. in Political Science and Business from Concordia College, Moorhead, MN (2001).
I teach courses in American politics and research methods. My broad research interests lie in American elections, parties, and political behavior, with a particular focus on elite behavior, party organizations, campaign finance, and election sciences/administration.
I am the author or coauthor of two books and a number of articles. Some of my recent articles appear in The Journal of Politics, Political Research Quarterly, Legislative Studies Quarterly, Political Behavior, American Politics Research, State Politics and Policy Quarterly, Publius, The Journal of Experimental Political Science, Politics and Gender, Research and Politics, and Election Law Journal. My work has been covered in a range of media outlets, including MSNBC, CSPAN, The Washington Post, The Monkey Cage, Vox, and 538 Politics. My work on campaign finance specifically has been utilized as empirical evidence in arguments before the United States Supreme Court, as well as in committee testimony before the United States Senate and several state legislatures and municipalities. You can view ungated versions of most of my work here.
