JENNIFER FITZGERALD (Brown University, 2005) joined the CU faculty in 2005. She received her Ph.D. from Brown University, an M.A. from the University of Chicago and a B.A. from Indiana University. A specialist in comparative politics, Jennifer's current research focuses on the ways in which social ties and local context shape political attitudes and behavior in advanced democratic societies. She is currently completing a book manuscript on the socio-contextual correlates of attitudes toward immigration in Western Europe. Jennifer has been chosen as a 2007-2008 Fulbright Scholar, which will allow her to conduct research on reactions to immigration and radical right voting in France during the spring and summer of 2008. Recent publications include the book Partisan Families: The Social Logic of Bounded Partisanship in Germany and Britain, co-authored with Alan Zuckerman and Josip Dasovic, published by Cambridge University Press (2007).
