After the Storm: Interpreting the Implications of the 2020 Election Cycle
Presenter: RACHEL PAINE CAUFIELD | Professor of Political Science, Drake University

NOVEMBER 6, 2020 11:50 AM-1:00 PM
online event


What are the results going to look like the day after election day? No one really knows. What we do know is that the results of the presidential, US Congress, and state legislature elections will have significant impact on the future direction of our nation and state. Join us for Intersections (just three days after the election!) as Rachel Paine Caufield, professor of political science at Drake University, discusses the results at the federal and state level and implications for both.

About PROFESSOR CAUFIELD: Rachel Paine Caufield earned her Ph.D. at The George Washington University in Washington, D.C., specializing in American politics and political science methodology, and her B.A. at Hood College in Frederick, Maryland, majoring in Political Science and Mathematics. She joined the Department of Political Science at Drake in 2001, and teaches courses on American politics, with special attention to political institutions (Congress and the Legislative Process, Judicial Politics, and the American Presidency). Prior to joining the Drake faculty, she was a Research Fellow at the Brookings Institution in Washington, D.C. studying the relationship between the U.S. Congress and the U.S. Supreme Court.

During her tenure at Drake, she spent 10 years as a Research Fellow with the American Judicature Society (2003-2013), where she conducted research on state judicial selection methods, trends in judicial elections, and the rules and procedures governing state merit selection systems.

For three years, she served as the Associate Director for Citizen Engagement at the Harkin Institute for Public Policy and Citizen Engagement, working to bring students and the community together to create a more vigorous and meaningful public dialogue.
