Faculty Matter

The Institute for Policy Research (IPR) welcomed social psychologist Eli Finkel, an expert on political polarization and romantic relationships, this September as the inaugural Morton O. Schapiro IPR Faculty Fellow. The position has been generously funded by an anonymous donor in honor of Morton Schapiro, an IPR economist who served as Northwestern’s president from 2009–22. In other faculty matters, IPR also recently celebrated five of its fellows who were promoted to full or associate professor this month: political scientists Daniel Galvin, Laurel Harbridge-Yong, and Sally Nuamah, economist Ofer Malamud, and statistician Elizabeth Tipton.

“Since its inception, IPR faculty have sought to tackle some of the most challenging problems confronting our society through diverse and rigorous research,” said IPR Director Andrew Papachristos. “By investing in faculty research, the Institute extends its reach and fosters meaningful public discourse that leads to lasting change.”
