Welcome! I'm an assistant professor of political science at Yale University. My research explores the political psychology of religion and repression in the Middle East. I use a variety of survey, voting, archival, and interview evidence, and incorporate quantitative, qualitative, and experimental methodologies.
I received my doctorate in politics from Princeton University with a specialization in comparative politics and a focus on the Middle East in June 2017. During AY2017-2018, I was a postdoctoral research fellow with the Middle East Initiative at Harvard Kennedy School of Government's Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs. I also hold a B.A. in Arabic and an M.A. in Arab Studies, both from Georgetown University. I served as an AY2007-2008 Fulbright Fellow in Cairo, Egypt and have conducted fieldwork for a variety of projects in Egypt, Lebanon, Tunisia, and the United Arab Emirates.
On this website, you will find links to my CV, on-going research and working papers, publications, non-academic writing, and resources for students. Please do not hesitate to contact me at elizabeth.nugent@yale.edu with any questions or to request copies of my work.
