About
I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Political Science at the University of Illinois at Chicago.
I study political parties, Congress, think tanks, agenda setting, lobbying, and economic policy. In particular, I am interested in how legislatures process information and solve problems, and how party elites influence policy. I earned my Ph.D. from the University of Texas at Austin. I am also a faculty associate with the Policy Agendas Project.
Before academia, I worked for five years in Washington, DC. From 2011-2014, I was Deputy Communications Director for Global Financial Integrity (GFI), a research and advocacy organization based in Washington, DC. GFI works to study and curtail illicit financial flows from developing countries.
When not working, I spend my time cooking, hiking, and watching baseball. I write about baseball at Baseball Prospectus. I also host and produce a weekly baseball podcast on the New York Yankees. You can find more information on my website, www.ejfagan.com.
