ABOUT CHERIE
This year's featured speaker is J. Cherie Strachan (at right) professor of political science and director of the Ray C. Bliss Institute of Applied Politics at the University of Akron.
Her political science research combines interests in political participation, voluntary civic and political organizations, and political communication. Recent work explores the #MeToo movement and women’s political ambition as well as the effects of partisan polarization, rudeness, and civility on political engagement. Her applied civic engagement pedagogy research focuses on facilitating student-led deliberative discussion sessions and on enhancing the political socialization that occurs within campus student organizations.
Strachan also is co-author of the textbook Why Don’t Women Rule the World? and co-editor of Strategies for Navigating Graduate School and Beyond, which was published by the American Political Science Association. Strachan earned a Ph.D. from SUNY Albany (2000), an M.A. degree from the University of Akron (1994) and a B.A. degree from Murray State University (1992). To learn more about Strachan, click here.
