The Political Science Department is proud to announce that the Board of Trustees have awarded Assistant Professor Carly Wayne and Assistant Professor Ted Enamorado tenure. Their award goes into effect July 1st.
The entire department is thrilled for our colleagues, and feel fortunate to work with two of the best minds in political science. They will be celebrated at a department event to be held at the end of the semester.
Carly Wayne
Carly Wayne is an Assistant Professor in the Political Science Department at Washington University in St. Louis. Wayne completed her PhD in Political Science at the University of Michigan. She studies international relations and the political psychology of conflict, examining the behavioral micro-foundations underpinning war and political violence across and within societies. Wayne's research crosses subfield lines, adapting theories and tools from the fields of American and comparative political behavior to provide insight into how emotional and cognitive processes impact the behavior of the mass public and political elites in conflict contexts. Some of her current projects examine, for example: the role of emotions in political conflict, the long-term effects of exposure to political violence, group processes in foreign policy decision-making, and the strategic psychology of terrorist targeting and recruitment.
Ted Enamorado
Ted Enamorado is an Assistant Professor of Political Science at Washington University in St. Louis, where he is affiliated with the Center for the Study of Race, Ethnicity & Equity and the Division of Computational & Data Sciences. He holds a PhD in Politics from Princeton University (Political Economy Program) and specializes in Political Economy and Political Methodology, focusing on probabilistic record linkage and improving probabilistic methods. Substantively, his research examines the impact of criminal justice inequities on political participation. Prior to graduate school, he worked as a Research Fellow at the Inter-American Development Bank and as a Consultant at the World Bank.
