Biographical Note:

Terri Bimes (Ph.D., Yale University) is the Associate Director of the Center for American Political Studies and also a lecturer in the department. This fall, she will be working on completing her book, The Metamorphosis of Presidential Populism, which examines the evolution of presidential rhetoric from Andrew Jackson through George W. Bush. In Spring 2004, she will be teaching a course on American Political Parties and Interest Groups. Her past publications include articles on presidential rhetoric and divided government. In addition, she has recently co-authored an article on the 2000 election entitled Safe at Any Speed: Legislative Intent, The Electoral Count Act of 1887, and Bush v. Gore. Her current research interests include exploring the nineteenth century practice of gambling on presidential elections as a precursor to modern polling and examining how party elites have adjusted to changes in rules governing presidential nominations. Before coming to Harvard University, Bimes was a research fellow and lecturer at the University of California, Berkeley.
