Brian Faughnan

I am a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Political Science at Vanderbilt University. My research seeks to understand how subnational context influences political behaviors and attitudes. More specifically, my dissertation examines how institutions of the past continue to thrive and the role they have on influencing citizen behaviors and values in 21st century Latin America.

I am also a research associate in the Institute for Coffee Studies and affiliated with the Latin American Public Opinion Project at Vanderbilt.
