Welcome! My name is Ethan vanderWilden and I am a Ph.D. Candidate in Political Science at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. My research emphasizes the role of the past in shaping modern political attitudes and behaviors connected to democratic backsliding and inter-group prejudices. My dissertation examines the connection between authoritarian nostalgia and political party fortunes. My work has been published or is forthcoming in the American Journal of Political Science and Political Science Research and Methods, and Journal of Experimental Political Science.
