Thomas Leavitt
My research develops methods in causal inference, with a specific emphasis on Difference-in-Differences, design-based inference and its integration with Bayesian methodology. I apply these methodological developments to studies of racial and ethnic politics in a comparative perspective using original data from the US and South Africa. For the past several years, I have taught a Causal Inference course at the ICPSR summer program and have taught a course on African politics at the City College of New York (CCNY). I received my Ph.D. in Political Science, specializing in methodology and comparative politics, from Columbia University.
