We are delighted to announce that Christy Boyd will join our faculty this fall as a professor with a joint appointment in the WashU School of Law.

Professor Boyd comes to us from the University of Georgia Department of Political Science and the School of Public and International Affairs where she is the Thomas P. and M. Jean Lauth Public Affairs Professor. Her research focuses on judicial politics, public law, women and politics, judicial diversity, American politics, and the intersection of courts and the bureaucracy in American politics. She earned her PhD at Washington University in St. Louis, and we are excited to welcome her back home to the WashU campus.
