Biographical:
Andrew Rehfeld is an Associate Professor, Director of Undergraduate Studies, and Faculty Fellow in Liggett/Koenig Residential College. He is the Secretary/Treasurer of the American Society for Political and Legal Philosophy, and serves on the Governance Committee of the Association of Political Theory.
Rehfeld joined Washington University in 2001 after receiving an M.P.P. (Public Policy) and a Ph.D. in political science from the University of Chicago. His main work is in democratic theory with an emphasis on the nature and institutions of political representation. Rehfeld's first book, The Concept of Constituency: Political Representation, Democratic Legitimacy and Institutional Design was published by Cambridge University Press (2005) and asked why we use territorial boundaries to determine how we get represented. The book was the subject of a symposium in the journal Polity (April 2008). Rehfeld’s second book, Political Representation: An Explanatory Account (under contract with Cambridge University Press) explores the relationship between political representation and democratic norms. Rehfeld's other articles and reviews have been published, or are forthcoming, in the American Political Science Review, Ethics, The Journal of Politics, Perspectives in Politics, Political Hebraism and Studies in American Political Development. Rehfeld has been on the editorial board of Journal of Politics, and serves on the Governing Committee of the Association for Political Theory. He teaches classes in the history of political thought, contemporary democratic theory, and ethics and politics.
