Dear RSF:
Please join us next Wednesday, February 18 at 11 in the library and on Zoom for a presentation by Guest Speaker Andrea Louise Campbell from MIT, “Race, Racism, and American Tax Attitudes.” Campbell will be discussing aspects of her latest book, Taxation and Resentment: Race, Party and Class in American Tax Attitudes (Princeton University Press, 2025).
Campbell is the Arthur and Ruth Sloan Professor of Political Science at MIT. Her research focuses on American politics, political behavior, public opinion, and political inequality, particularly investigating how these intersect with social welfare policy, health policy, and tax policy. Her fourth book, Policy Feedback: How Policies Shape Politics, was co-authored with Daniel Béland and R. Kent Weaver (Cambridge Elements in Public Policy, 2022)
Campbell holds an AB degree from Harvard and a PhD from the University of California, Berkeley. Recent awards include the Wildavsky Enduring Contribution Award (2021) for her first book, How Policies Make Citizens (Princeton University Press, 2003), and the Excellence in Mentoring Award (2020), both from the American Political Science Association Public Policy section. In 2024 she was awarded MIT’s MacVicar Fellowship for contributions to undergraduate education.
