She has chaired the Political Science Department from 2011-2017 and served as President of the Western Political Science Association from 2016-2017. Professor Novkov's research focuses on law as both a system of political and social control and as a site for reform through activists' pressure. She is particularly interested in how law defines and translates categories associated with identity, such as race and gender, and how these categories transform and are transformed by legal discourse. Her work bridges historical analysis with contemporary legal and political questions, examining the intersections of US political development, constitutional law, and subordinated identity. Novkov's scholarship reveals consistent engagement with foundational questions of citizenship, belonging, and equality in American history and law. Her work demonstrates how legal categories have been instrumental in shaping racial and gender hierarchies while also serving as sites for contestation and transformation. This approach connects historical legal developments with ongoing struggles for justice and inclusion.
