About our guest:
Donald P. Green is J. W. Burgess Professor of Political Science at Columbia University. Professor Green is the author of four books and more than one hundred scholarly articles spanning a wide array of topics: voting behavior, partisanship, campaign finance, hate crime, and research methods. Much of his current work uses field experimentation to study the ways in which political campaigns mobilize and persuade voters. With Alan Gerber, he conducted the first large-scale randomized field experiment on the effects of voter mobilization tactics on voter turnout and the development of long-term voting habits. With Alan Gerber, he co-authored a textbook on this research method titled Field Experiments: Design, Analysis, and Interpretation (W.W. Norton, 2012). Prior to joining the faculty at Columbia University, Professor Green taught at Yale University (1989-2011), where he was A. Whitney Griswold Professor of Political Science and served five terms as Director of Yale’s Institution for Social and Policy Studies. He was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2003 and has received numerous awards, among them the Heinz I. Eulau Award for best article published in the American Political Science Review. He co-founded the Experimental Research section of the American Political Science Association and served as its first president. |
