Charles Crabtree

Charles Crabtree is a visiting scholar in the Department of Government at Dartmouth College, a senior data scientist (research fellow) at the Tokyo Foundation for Policy Research and a visiting scholar in the Donia Human Rights Center at the University of Michigan. Starting fall 2020, he will be an assistant professor in the Department of Government at Dartmouth College.

His research focuses on fairness in politics, with applications to the study of discrimination, repression, human rights, policing and immigration. Specifically, he examines under what circumstances political actors and institutions treat members of the public differently based on their political views or personal demographics, and how the public views this treatment. Methodologically, Crabtree is interested in research design, experiments, and using computational tools to better understand the social world. He has published his research in journals such as the American Journal of Political Science, the British Journal of Political Science, the Journal of Politics, and Political Analysis.
