Kutztown University - Department of Philosophy and Government

Great feature!

For Student Spotlight Sunday, let's meet Jennifer!

She is currently in our MPA program and is from Breinigsville, PA! During undergrad, she was able to present her research for her Honors capstone project about the congressional spending priorities and how redistricting effects those priorities. As a graduate student, she is continuing to work with her advisor to hopefully publish her research before she graduates from the MPA program.

We're so fortunate to have Jennifer as a Golden Bear!

On March 28, 2022, Jennifer Hass (BA Pol Sci '20; MPA '23) and Xavier Kellam (BS Pub Ad '23) presented about government to residents of the Borough of Topton, PA.

Jennifer Haas (BA Political Science w/ Paralegal Studies ‘20; MPA ‘23) and I presented our paper, “Redistricting and House Members’ Spending Priorities” at the 2021 American Political Science Association conference in Seattle, WA. Although the conference looked a little different this year due to COVID, we had a great panel and time.

Welcome back! Hope everyone has a great fist day to the semester!

Despite the title, this is a good read on political science and its warnings/predictions regarding the Capitol riot and erosion of democracy.

We Freaking Warned You Political scientists have been taking Trump seriously and literally since 2015. We told you this would happen.

Dr. Robin Best and my follow-up to our pre-election Conversation piece on Congressional gerrymandering.

Republicans didn't lose big in 2020 – they held onto statehouses and the power to influence future elections State legislatures, which will draw congressional districts that last through 2030, are dominated by the GOP.
