Clare Brock serves as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Political Science at Colorado State University. Her academic focus centers on American politics and public policy, with specialized expertise in agricultural policy, lobbying dynamics, and the impact of partisan polarization on governance.
Education:
- PhD, University of Texas at Austin (2017)
Research Profile: Brock's scholarship critically examines how polarization reshapes lobbying behavior and legislative outcomes, particularly in agricultural and food policy domains. Her work bridges theoretical frameworks like punctuated equilibrium theory with contemporary political challenges, including social media's role in public policy communication during crises such as the pandemic-era National School Lunch Program adjustments. Key methodologies include elite framing analysis, interest group behavior studies, and policy process evaluation.
Publication Trends: Recent outputs (2020-2023) reveal concentrated exploration of agricultural lobbying in polarized environments, punctuated equilibrium applications, and interdisciplinary approaches to food policy. Her Oxford University Press book Farmed Out establishes foundational insights into sector-specific lobbying adaptations, while collaborative works extend into graduate education pedagogy and racial dimensions of food politics. This trajectory demonstrates increasing methodological diversity and policy relevance across political science subfields.
