Charles Stewart III

Professor Charles Stewart III was born in Georgia, raised in Orlando, and received his undergraduate degree in political science from Emory University.  After a brief detour to Yale Divinity School, he received his S.M. and Ph.D., both from Stanford University

Professor Stewart's research interests span two fields of American politics.  The first is election science, where he is most interested in the use of data to assess the quality of election administration in the U.S., but has found himself writing about a variety of topics, ranging from voting technology to voter confidence.  His second research area, and first academic love, is legislative politics, where he continues to conduct research on political polarization and the evolution of congressional committees.
