Maureen A. Eger

I am a comparative political sociologist with specializations in international migration, nationalism, and the welfare state. My research examines attitudes and values, social policy preferences, voting behavior, and political parties across different demographic, political, economic, and institutional contexts. Much of my theoretical and empirical work focuses on attitudes towards immigration as well as ethnic/racial diversity and the social, political, and economic consequences of those views. I hold a Ph.D. and M.A. from the University of Washington and an M.A. and B.A. from Stanford University. Previously, I have been a Fulbright Scholar in Sweden (Stockholm University), a visiting scholar at the Center for Right-Wing Studies at the University of California Berkeley, and a 2024–25 Fellow at the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University.
