Inside the 2025 Caltech Election Integrity Project Conferences: Research, Risks, and Real-World Implications
Please join us on Wednesday, January 14, 2025 at 11:00 am Pacific for the next episode of Election Science Office Hours, a webinar series presented by the Caltech Election Integrity Project and moderated by R. Michael Alvarez, PhD, Flintridge Foundation Professor of Political and Computational Social Science at Caltech and Co-Director, Linde Center for Science, Society, and Policy (LCSSP).
Professor Alvarez’s guest for this episode is Betsy Sinclair, the Thomas F. Eagleton University Professor of Public Affairs and Political Science, Chair of Political Science, and Assistant Vice Provost of Digital Transformations at Washington University in St. Louis (WashU).
Together, Professors Alvarez and Sinclair will discuss their collaboration co-organizing and co-hosting two conferences in 2025 as part of the Caltech Election Integrity Project. They’ll explore the goals and outcomes of these events, share updates on the release of conference videos and a new paper about the conferences, and look ahead to what’s next for this area of research.
Betsy Sinclair's research interests are located in American politics and political methodology with an emphasis on individual political behavior. She focuses on the social foundations of participatory democracy — the ways in which social networks influence voting, donating, choosing a candidate or identifying with a particular party. Her other interests are broadly defined as those involving voting and elections and range from evaluating the consequences of different voting technologies to developing techniques to draw causal inferences from social network data.
