Susan Glover is a Professor in the Department of Government within the School of Public Affairs at American University, teaching core courses including Politics in the Developing World, Authoritarianism in the Modern Era, and Social Movements for Spring and Fall 2025 semesters.
Her academic credentials include:
- PhD in Political Science from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
- MA in Political Science from McGill University
- BS in Political Science and History from the University of Wisconsin at Madison
Her research centers on comparative politics with deep specialization in African political systems, examining democratic transitions in multi-ethnic states, constitutional design during democratization, and contemporary land politics in neopatrimonial regimes. Fieldwork in southern Africa and consultancy with Namibia's National Society for Human Rights inform her empirical approach to studying scarcity and corruption dynamics.
Publication trends reveal an evolution from foundational work on Namibian democratization (2000-2007) toward cutting-edge analysis of digital contention and labor movements in North Africa, particularly Tunisia and Egypt during the Arab Spring (2017), reflecting both geographical expansion and methodological adaptation to new media landscapes.
