Jonathan Nagler
Professor of Political Science
New York University
at time of fellowship
2015 to 2016
Nagler will work on a book that examines how increases in economic inequality have affected voter turnout in congressional elections from 1972 through 2014. Using a variety of data sources not previously available, he will assess the ideologies of congressional candidates across many elections, and explore how turnout was affected by the ways in which voters from different income groups perceived those candidates' positions.
