Bio/CV:
My name is Melanie L. Phillips. I am currently a PhD Candidate in the Charles and Louise Travers Political Science Department at the University of California, Berkeley. My research examines how women’s political representation in African countries is shaped by the intersection between the rules governing candidate selection and the norms associated with gendered family roles. I use a combination of empirical methods in my work, including survey, experiments, and in-depth fieldwork.
