Biography

Angela G. Narasimhan received her Ph.D. from the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs of Syracuse University in 2011 and is currently an Assistant Professor of Political Science. Prior to joining Keuka College, she acquired eight years of teaching experience at several universities and colleges throughout the U.S., including the University of North Dakota and Idaho State University.

Originally from the Washington D.C. area, Angela moved to Eastern Europe after high school to study post-communist transition firsthand. In 2002, she received her BA in Political Science from Babes-Bolyai University in Cluj-Napoca, Romania and went on to Budapest, Hungary to obtain an MA in the same field from Central European University in 2003. Although her research is primarily grounded in the field of American Politics, it continues to reflect her international interests by focusing on the new challenges posed by globalization for national institutions such as the U.S. Supreme Court. More broadly, Angela’s teaching and research interests include American national government, public law, and the policy-making process. One of her two areas of specialization at the Maxwell School was public administration and policy, and her specific interests in these areas include federalism and environmental policy. She has presented her work at the annual meetings of the American Political Science Association and her publications include a 2010 article in the Journal of Law, Politics, and Society.
