Miranda Sklaroff is Visiting Assistant Professor in Department of Political Science. Her research and teaching focus on political theory, American politics, and the history of political thought. Her current project develops an account of post-war eugenics and anti-eugenics in the United States through the lens of reproductive politics.
Sklaroff’s course focus on American politics and political theory, particularly the role of gender and democracy in the history of political thought. Her teaching centers students not only developing their own readings and understandings of key concepts and texts, but fine-tuning and realizing their own sense of politics.
