Register for Data + Donuts.

Bailey Flanigan is a 2024 Wojcicki Troper HDSI Postdoctoral Fellow, hosted by Archon Fung at HKS’s Ash Center for Democratic Governance and Innovation. Bailey studies democratic processes that facilitate direct public participation and representation in policymaking. Using methods from algorithms, social choice, and political science, her work contributes deployable tools for supporting existing processes, as well as computational, empirical, and theoretical frameworks for analyzing their impacts. In Fall 2025 Bailey will be joining MIT as an assistant professor, joint between Political Science and EECS (LIDS).

Bailey's talk will be given in a hybrid format. Register to receive a link to join via Zoom. In-person attendees can join us in Wexner 434. Those without an HUID may enter via the Wexner security desk after showing a photo ID. View a map of campus.
