CERL Graduate Student Associate headed to Harvard
CERL Graduate Student Associate and Political Science graduate student Ryan Owens recently accepted a tenure-track job as Assistant Professor in the Department of Government at Harvard University. A student of American politics, Ryan's research focuses on the politics of judicial decision making. His dissertation examines whether Justices respond strategically to constraints emanating from the separation of powers built into the Constitution. More specifically, he coupled spatial models and quantitative analyses to generate and test predictions about the circumstances under which Supreme Court Justices would rationally anticipate likely Congressional responses to Court decisions and thus vote strategically at the certiorari stage. He worked under the direction of Professors James Spriggs, Andrew Martin, and Steve Smith.
