About
Jeremiah joined the political science program in 2004 after graduating with a BA degree from Case Western Reserve University in Political Science with extensive coursework in Physics and Mathematics. His interests span Quantitative Methodology and American Politics with particular substantive emphases on public opinion change, sexuality and politics, campaigns and
elections, and legislative studies and methodological emphases on ideal point estimation and Bayesian analysis. Jeremiah's dissertation project focuses on determining why social attitudes towards minority groups, particularly gays and lesbians, have changed so rapidly in the last thirty years while public opinion on most matters is marked by stability. He has presented his work at meetings of the Southern Political Science Association, Midwest Political Science Association, and the Summer Meeting of the Society for Political Methodology.
