My name is Marcy Shieh. I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Politics, Government, and Law at University of Wisconsin–Whitewater.

I study American politics with a concentration in judicial politics. My research examines the dynamics between the public and state and federal courts. My work has been published or is forthcoming in Research & Politics, Political Communication, Political Research Quarterly, State Politics & Policy Quarterly, and others.

I received my MA and PhD in political science from the University of Wisconsin–Madison and received my BA in political science and philosophy with a minor in statistics from the University of California, Davis. I was previously an Assistant Professor at Miami University (Ohio) and a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Political Science and Public Administration at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte.

In my spare time, I like hanging out with my cat, eating and cooking food, and watching films and television. I hate running, but it is my primary form of exercise.
