Jana Morgan is Professor of Political Science at the University of Tennessee. Her research examines how processes of marginalization along economic, ethnoracial, and gendered lines undermine democratic norms, institutions, and outcomes. She is currently working on two book projects, one analyzing how structures and experiences of ethnoracial exclusion shape democratic citizenship across Latin America and another identifying how inequalities in the US interest system stifle policymakers' attention to major economic and social problems. Her scholarship has been supported by the Russell Sage Foundation, the Pew Foundation, and the Fulbright-Hays program. Her writing on representation and exclusion has appeared in numerous journals including American Political Science Review, Comparative Political Studies, Journal of Politics, Latin American Politics and Society, and Latin American Research Review. Her first book Bankrupt Representation and Party System Collapse (Penn State Press 2011) received the Van Cott Award from the Latin American Studies Association. Professor Morgan also co-directs the AmericasBarometer survey in the Dominican Republic. She tweets about political, economic, and ethnoracial inequalities across the Americas at @prof_jmorgan
