Donald D. Searing, Burton Craige Professor of Political Science, writes on comparative politics, political psychology, and political elites. He has published articles on these subjects in The American Political Science Review, British Journal of Political Science, and most major professional journals in the discipline. He is currently engaged in two research projects. One concerns institutional learning and political leadership. Some of the results are reported in a recent book, Westminster's World: Understanding Political Roles (Harvard University Press). The other, with Professors Pamela Johnston Conover and Ivor Crewe, is a study of the civic side of citizenship in the United States and Great Britain. Both research projects combine quantitative with qualitative methodologies to address themes in democratic theory. Professor Searing has served on the Council of the American Political Science Association and on the editorial boards of the leading political science journals and has received a number of professional awards and honors including a Guggenheim Fellowship. When in Britain, he is based at the University of Essex, which has links with our department in Chapel Hill.
