Eric Hansen

Associate Professor of Political Science

About Me

I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Political Science at Loyola University Chicago. I received my Ph.D. in Political Science from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 2017.

My research examines the occupational backgrounds of public officials, representation and policymaking in state legislatures and Congress, and the relationship between educational attainment and voting. My work has appeared in a number of peer-reviewed journals including the American Political Science Review, the Journal of Politics, and Political Behavior. The section below lists my published work and select working papers, including links to articles, summaries, and replication data.

I teach courses on American politics and institutions. Farther below you'll find a list of my prepared courses and links to syllabi.
