Michael Latner
Professor of Political Science
California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo
My research explores the sources and consequences of bias in electoral representation, voting rights discrimination, election law, and the link between electoral system design and public policy. I'm professor of political science at California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, and currently serve as senior fellow at the Union of Concerned Scientists’ Center for Science and Democracy, where I work at the intersection of voting rights and environmental justice. I am also a faculty scholar at Cal Poly's Institute for Advanced Technology and Public Policy.
