Sean Ingham

Sean Ingham studies political theory with an emphasis on questions at the intersection of democratic theory and formal political theory. His work has been published with Cambridge University Press and in the American Journal of Political Science, Journal of Theoretical Politics, and Politics, Philosophy & Economics, among other outlets. His book, Rule by Multiple Majorities: A New Theory of Popular Control (Cambridge University Press, 2019) develops an account of popular control in democracies---what it is, the conditions under which elections could produce it, and why we should care. He received his Ph.D. in Political Science from Harvard in 2012 and his B.A. in Philosophy and Political Science from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2004. Before joining the faculty at UCSD in 2017, Ingham was an assistant professor of Political Science at the University of Georgia.
