Jacob Sherer

I am a first-year PhD student and William Yandell Elliott Fellow in the Department of Government at Harvard University, where I focus on American Politics and Political Methodology. My research interests lie broadly at the intersection of American politics, political geography, and political behavior.

Prior to Harvard, I earned a B.A. in Political Science from the University of Notre Dame, and an MPhil in Politics and International Studies from the University of Cambridge. I am originally from Platteville, Wisconsin.

In my free time, you'll find me running, admiring Brutalist architecture, and cheering on the Chicago Bears!
