Erin Hern, associate professor of political science, will discuss "Visibility of Autocratization, Voter Behavior, and Election Outcomes."
A growing body of research seeks to understand how voters respond to democratically elected incumbents who undermine democratic institutions. Hern argues that an important factor in understanding citizen responses is how visibly autocratic incumbent behavior is. She develops this concept and shows that, across African elections since 1990, visibly autocratizing presidents are much more likely to lose office.

We’re Turning 100!
To mark our centennial in the fall of 2024, the Maxwell School will hold special events and engagement opportunities to celebrate the many ways—across disciplines and borders—our community ever strives to, as the Oath says, “transmit this city not only not less, but greater, better and more beautiful than it was transmitted to us.”
Throughout the year leading up to the centennial, engagement opportunities will be held for our diverse, highly accomplished community that now boasts more than 38,500 alumni across the globe.
