Associate Professor of Political Science Rosalyn Cooperman will be featured on the radio program With Good Reason Saturday, Oct. 29, to Friday, Nov. 4.
Titled “The Great Divide,” the show takes a look at the upcoming U.S. presidential election. Joining faculty from Old Dominion, Christopher Newport and Stanford universities on the program, Cooperman will discuss how funding from political action committees results in a majority of Democratic women in Congress.
Cooperman specializes in American political parties and the U.S. Congress. Her articles have been featured in multiple publications such as, American Political Science Research (2010), Virginia Social Science Journal (2011), and Political Science Quarterly (2015). She is a regular contributor to Presidential Gender Watch.
Before coming to the University of Mary Washington in 2003, Cooperman’s professional experience in the political arena included serving as a campaign manager for Congresswoman Jill Long (IN-4) and working in the Montana State Legislature. Currently, she teaches the FSEM “U.S. Campaigns and Elections,” in which her students deconstruct the 2012 presidential campaign to analyze the current 2016 campaign.
Cooperman earned a doctorate in political science from Vanderbilt University and a bachelor’s degree in political science from Indiana University.
