Thomas Worth
I am a Ph.D. Candidate in the Political Science Department at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. My research interests include feminism and gender, international security, United States foreign policy, and the measurement of gender identity. My dissertation examines the so-called "gender gap" in public opinion on the use of military force in the United States. I argue that relying solely on a binary measure of gender misses an important aspect of individual conflict preferences: masculinity and femininity. I then use surveys and survey experiments to evaluate the relationship between masculinity and femininity and support for the use of force.
For over five years I have taught political science at UW–Madison on topics ranging from international conflict resolution to US politics and government. In Spring 2022 I designed and taught a course on gender in international relations, and in Spring 2023 I designed and taught a course on US public policy. I am also a Future Faculty Partner with the UW–Madison Teaching Academy. In addition, I served for three years on my department's Graduate Program Committee where I was able to advocate for policy changes to benefit graduate students in the department. I currently serve as the graduate student representative on the APSA Women, Gender, and Politics Research Section Executive Committee.
