Daniel Andersen

Daniel Andersen serves as an Instructor in Political Science at the School of Public Policy, Oregon State University, teaching undergraduate courses including Presidential Politics (PS 312), Interest Group Politics (PS 314), and Constitutional Law sequences (PS 321/322) from his office in Bexell Hall 100C on the Corvallis campus.

His academic credentials include:

• Ph.D. in Political Science, University of Oregon, 2012
• M.S. in Political Science, University of Oregon, 2008
• M.A. in Political Science, Western Washington University, 2005
• B.A., Western Washington University, 2003

Andersen's research centers on Political Theory and Democratic Theory with rigorous examination of race, gender, and identity politics within U.S. institutional frameworks. His work interrogates how political structures perpetuate or challenge systemic inequalities through legal, pedagogical, and policy lenses.

His publications reveal consistent focus on controversial intersections of science, policy, and identity—analyzing HPV vaccine politics, developing gender-inclusive political science pedagogy, and critiquing racial housing segregation mechanisms. These works demonstrate interdisciplinary engagement spanning political theory, public health policy, and critical race studies.

No scientific awards are documented in available sources.

Teaching responsibilities encompass both recurring courses (Presidential Politics, Constitutional Law) and previous offerings including Race and Gender in American Political Thought, Sports and Politics, and The Civil Rights Movement. No grant funding or student advising details are provided.
