About Scott Minkoff
I am an Assistant Professor of Political Science at Barnard College in New York City. My research focuses on American local politics and public goods provision; however, my interests also include legislative politics, state politics, federalism, and budgetary politics. My research involves the use of quantitative and qualitative social science methodologies with an emphasis on spatial statistics, geographic information systems, and network analysis.
I have taught courses on American urban politics, the American Congress, and American federalism. In coming terms I will be teaching courses on other topics including the logic of inquiry (research methods and data analysis in the social sciences for undergraduates).
My blog, Contemplating Dog,* chronicles what I am reading and thinking about with respect to news, politics, economics, science, technology, and sports.
