Carlisle Rainey Graduate Student Department of Political Science Department of Statistics Florida State University
I am a graduate student in the Department of Political Science and the Department of Statistics at the Florida State University. Substantively, I am interested in the influence of district and national level electoral institutions and political contexts on the behavior of individual citizens and political parties. Methodologically, I am interested in Bayesian inference and other computationally-intensive methods. I have a B.S. in political science and sociology from Georgia Southwestern State Univerisity in Americus and an M.S. in political science from Florida State University.
