Bio:
Nicole Kazee received her PhD from Yale
University in May 2009. Her research and teaching interests are in the
areas of American politics and policymaking. Her dissertation, entitled
"Wal-Mart Welfare," examined the contemporary policymaking process in
the states, using health care programs for the poor to explore the
factors that shape variation in legislative decisions. In particular,
the research highlighted the importance of institutional rules, fiscal
norms, and the political role of employers. She has received full-year
research fellowships from the Brookings Institution, the Miller Center
of Public Affairs, and PEO International, and has been a fellow at Demos
in New York.

(e.g., the presidency and Congress), interest groups (particularly the

State and national health reform, the anti-tax movement and
its effect on state policy choices
