Home Curriculum vitae Dissertation Research Contact Links   Welcome I am a post-doctoral fellow at the Bremen International Graduate School of Social Sciences. I got my Ph.D. at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and my B.A. at the University of Wisconsin at Madison. During my fieldwork in Germany, I also began working at the Hertie School of Governance, a public policy school in Berlin. I am also working closely on an exciting project with the Transportation Learning Center to help improve the qualifications in the transport sector in the US. My main research interests lie in the field of comparative politics, where I focus on welfare states, education policy, and political parties. Other subfields of central interest to me are international relations and methodology.     © 2009 Moira L. Nelson
