Nicholas Haas recently received his Ph.D. from the Politics Department at New York University. In Fall 2020, he will join the Department of Political Science at Aarhus University as an Assistant Professor. His research is broadly concerned with three questions: how can states with limited institutional capacity better address the demands of vulnerable populations; how do people seeking services decide between State and non-State alternatives; how does social polarisation affect political behaviour, and how can inter-group polarisation be lessened and conflict reduced? His scholarly work has been published or is forthcoming in the American Political Science Review, American Journal of Political Science, Public Choice, and Electoral Studies. His research has also appeared in The Monkey Cage at The Washington Post. You can hear him discuss some of his work here.
