Welcome! My name is Ethan vanderWilden and I am a Ph.D. Candidate in Political Science at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. My research examines the role of the past in shaping modern political attitudes and behaviors connected to democratic backsliding and inter-group prejudice. My dissertation explores the connection between authoritarian nostalgia and voting behavior. My work has been published or is forthcoming in the American Journal of Political Science, Comparative Political Studies, Political Science Research and Methods, and Journal of Experimental Political Science.
