Welcome!
I am Professor and Chair of the Political Science Department at the University of Pittsburgh. Previously, I was the Director of the European Studies Center (ESC), which is a Jean Monnet Center of Excellence and a National Resource Center for European Studies. I am also a past Co-Editor of JEPOP (the Journal of Elections, Public Opinion and Parties) and Research & Politics.
My research and teaching focus on European politics, political party behavior and party competition. I am particularly interested in the behavior of small parties and how parties respond to, and interact with, voters and other parties and how voters respond to parties.
Check out the websites of some of my incredible PhD Students:
Jeffrey Nonnemacher (currently on the market)
Matt Avina (Post Doc, University of Copenhagen)
Alex Honeker (Assistant Professor @ TAMU-Qatar)
Anthony Ocepek (Visiting Lecturer--Pitt)
