معرفی
Monika L. McDermott is a Professor at Fordham University specializing in political psychology, researching how voters employ stereotypes and information shortcuts in electoral decision-making. She is author of Masculinity, Femininity, and American Political Behavior (Oxford University Press, 2016) and editor of the forthcoming Masculinity in American Politics (NYU Press, 2025).
Her primary research domains include:
- Political Psychology
- Voting Behavior
- Stereotype Formation in Politics
- Mental Health Perception in Candidates
- Gender Performance (Masculinity/Femininity) in Electoral Contexts
Recent publications reveal an analytical evolution from gender-based voting patterns toward intersectional studies of disability and mental health in candidate evaluations. Her methodological approach integrates political science with psychological frameworks to examine voter heuristics under information scarcity.
Professor McDermott is affiliated with Fordham's Research Consortium on Disability, contributing interdisciplinary perspectives on political ableism. The available documentation contains no references to scientific awards, graduate student mentorship, research grants, or laboratory affiliations beyond this consortium.
