Center on American Politics
The Center on American Politics supports deep community engagement and interdisciplinary research on crucial issues in American politics.
The Center is chiefly focused on the two institutions most central to the integrity and responsiveness of American politics – elections and political parties. The Center assembles public conversations to provide voters, politicians and the broader community with insights about electoral campaigns and party practices, synthesizing the practical experience of activists, consultants, journalists and elected officials with the historical and systematic perspectives of a multidisciplinary team of scholars.
