Jennifer Fitzgerald is Professor of Political Science. A specialist in comparative political behavior, much of Fitzgerald's work examines the ways in which social context shapes political attitudes and vote choice in advanced democratic societies. Her most recent book, entitled (Cambridge University Press 2018), was published in the Cambridge Series in Public Opinion and Political Psychology.  The book develops and tests a localist model of radical right support that roots individuals within their communities.  The research is based in part on field work conducted as a Fulbright Scholar to France. Close to Home was named the Best Book of 2018 by the American Political Science Association's European Politics and Societies Organized Section.  Fitzgerald has also been working closely with researchers at  Örebro University in Sweden to understand the political behavior of young democratic citizens.  Her publications include the book Partisan Families: The Social Logic of Bounded Partisanship in Germany and Britain (with Alan Zuckerman and Josip Dasovic, Cambridge University Press) and articles in journals such as The Journal of Politics, Comparative Political Studies, World Politics, Political Behavior, Electoral Studies, and International Migration Review.
