Two Honors for New Political Science Recruit

New Associate Professor of Political Science Daniel Hopkins received two awards from the American Political Science Association (APSA) this fall. Hopkins was honored with the Clarence Stone Award, given by the Urban Politics Section of the APSA to a scholar who is “making a significant impact on the field of urban politics.” He also received the 2015 Warren Miller Prize for best article published in the journal Political Analysis, for “Casual Interference in Conjoint Analysis: Understanding Multi-Dimensional Choices via Stated Preference Experiments,” with co-authors Jens Hainmueller and Teppei Yamamoto.

 Hopkins’ research centers on American politics, with a special emphasis on racial and ethnic politics, local politics, political behavior, and research methods. He is the author of nearly 30 papers, including “No Wilder Effect, Never a Whitman Effect: When and Why Polls Mislead about Black and Female Candidates,” which was covered by media outlets including ABC News, The New York Times, Time Magazine, and Science.
