Election Countdown: Wendy Schiller on The Watson Institute, Inequality, and Civic Health

In today's episode I speak with political science professor, and American democracy expert Wendy Schiller of Brown University. We cover the professional journey of Professor Schiller, her co-authored book Inequality across State Lines (2023 Cambridge University press with Kaitlin Sidorsky) and high points of the less than 100 days to the 2024 presidential election!

Wendy J Schiller is the Howard R. Swearer Interim Director of the Thomas J. Watson Institute for International and Public Affairs, Director of the A. Alfred Taubman Center for American Politics and Policy, Alison S. Ressler Professor of Political Science. She studied politics at the University of Chicago, worked as a legislative assistant for Senate for Daniel P. Moynihan of New York, and for Governor Mario M. Cuomo as a lobbyist in D.C. for the State of New York. She earned her PhD from the University of Rochester and came to Brown University in 1994 after completing fellowships at the Brookings Institute and Princeton.

Trigger warning: Our conversation includes the discussion of domestic violence, firearms, and death from firearms.
