Assistant Professor of Political Science
Gareth Nellis specializes in comparative politics. His research addresses the extent to which elections serve as instruments of inclusion or exclusion in developing democracies. One line of work examines the electoral rise of ethno-religious nationalism; the other aims to understand the political marginalization of internal migrants. He received his PhD from Yale University and was previously the Evidence in Governance and Politics Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of California, Berkeley.
