Professor Susan J Carroll to give PSA Annual Lecture

Susan J. Carroll, Professor of Political Science and Women’s and Gender Studies at Rutgers University, will present the PSA annual lecture at London School of Economics and Political Science on Monday 24 November 2014.  The lecture is in collaboration with the Institute of Public Affairs at LSE and will be chaired by Purna Sen, Deputy Director at the IPA.

Susan, who is also Senior Scholar at the Center for American Women and Politics (CAWP) of the Eagleton Institute of Politics, has authored numerous books on women’s political participation, including:  Women as Candidates in American Politics(Second Edition, Indiana University Press 1994); Gender and Elections: Shaping the Future of American Politics (Third Edition, Cambridge University Press 2014, with Richard L. Fox); Women and American Politics: New Questions, New Directions (Oxford University Press 2003); and The Impact of Women in Public Office (Indiana University Press, 2001).

Her latest book, More Women Can Run: Gender and Pathways to the State Legislature (Oxford University Press 2013, with Kira Sanbonmatsu), which uses an impressive data span to argue convincingly that women's pathways to elected office are varied and sometimes unique, will be the main topic of discussion at LSE. Carroll will also talk about the problems that Hillary Clinton faced the last time she ran for president and what she might encounter in 2016, if she decides to run as expected.
