Hello! My name is Sally. I am Instructor of Political Science at the University of Nebraska (Omaha).
I recently completed my Ph.D. in Political Science (Foreign Affairs) at the University of Virginia. My dissertation drew on themes from Comparative Politics and International Relations, where I investigated the links between globalization, citizens’ satisfaction with democracy, and the changing dynamics of political parties. My current research agenda focuses on the intersections of legacies of democratic transitions and globalization in shaping contemporary populist movements. I am also interested in projects surrounding the links between politics and popular culture.
I have teaching experience within Politics, Women and Gender Studies, and English. My courses range from intro level courses in Political Science and Comparative Politics, to upper-level class on topics such as populism, globalization and political economy, gender and global politics, conflict resolution, and party politics.
