American Political Development Gender and Politics Women's Rights History Public Law Political Behavior Methodology and Causal Inference Her recent publications demonstrate a consistent focus on how gender shapes political institutions and processes across historical and contemporary contexts. Early work examined 19th century married women's economic rights reform, while more recent research investigates contemporary issues like bathroom access politics and gender disparities in political campaign staffing. Her scholarship often employs innovative methodological approaches to historical questions, bridging qualitative and quantitative traditions in political science. Dr. Chatfield teaches courses on American politics and law, including Constitutional Law I, Judicial Politics, and a freshman seminar on the politics of bathrooms. Her book In Her Own Name: The Politics of Women's Rights Before Suffrage (Columbia University Press, 2023) and her Cambridge Element The Politics of Bathroom Access and Exclusion in the United States (2024) represent significant contributions to understanding how gender shapes political institutions across historical periods.
