Education and Political Participation: What is the Relationship?

with Tali Mendelberg
Forthcoming Annual Review of Political Science 2022

In this review, we synthesize the voluminous new research that has attempted to identify the relationship between education and political participation. Whether education affects political participation is a long-standing and central question in political philosophy and political science.  We explain the literature’s advances and limitations, elaborate on competing theoretical perspectives, and integrate diverse findings.
