Hi, Iām Charles Crabtree. I'm an Assistant Professor in theĀ Department of GovernmentĀ atĀ Dartmouth College.

Ā
TeachingI teach students analytical and statistical tools that help them better understand how people think and behave.
Ā
CollaborationI spend a lot of time thinking about collaboration and community building.
More about me
My work hasĀ been published or is forthcomingĀ in over 30 journals or volumes, including theĀ American Journal of Political Science, theĀ British Journal of Political Science, theĀ Journal of Politics,Ā Nature Human Behavior,Ā Political Analysis, and theĀ Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. It has received coverage by media such as National Public Radio'sĀ All Things Considered,Ā The Asahi Shimbun,Ā The Atlantic,Ā The Economist,Ā The Huffington Post,Ā The Washington Post, andĀ Yahoo! News.
In addition to my primary appointment in the Department of Government at Dartmouth, I am affiliate faculty in the Department of Eastern European, Eurasian, and Russian Studies, the Department of Sociology, the Program in Social Science, and the Arthur L. Irving Institute. I am also a Senior Fellow at the Tokyo Foundation for Policy Research.
Prior to attending graduate school, I worked as a congressional staffer, a policy researcher, a photojournalist, and an English teacher in Belarus, amongĀ manyĀ other things. My experiences taught me a great deal about how people interact and build and use power. They also have guided my research interests and projects over the years.
When not working, I enjoy middle-class values and activities, such photography, spending time with my family and friends, and petting just about every dog I see.
I also like traveling throughout JapanĀ and exploring colleges and universities throughout the world. š
