Welcome
PhD Candidate
Binghamton University (SUNY)
Department of Political Science

Hello! I am Michael Catalano, a PhD Candidate in Political Science at SUNY Binghamton. I am on the job market this year, applying to academic positions beginning in Fall 2023. My research interests explore the motivations of majoritarian institutions (i.e., legislatures, executives, political parties, and nomination and selection systems) to constrain or empower courts and the implications of those actions on judicial behavior. In my teaching, I apply the study of political science in my classes as the study of how groups make decisions. This philosophy not only informs the substantive content of my courses but also how I structure the course and craft assignments. My work has been published or is forthcoming in Political Research Quarterly, Justice System Journal, Journal of Political Institutions and Political Economy, among other scholarly journals.
I currently serve as the Editorial Assistant for the Journal of Elections, Public Opinion, and Parties.
Please feel free to explore and find out more about my Research, Teaching, and ways to Contact Me on this site. Or check out my CV.
