Weidenbaum Center Research Fellow, Professor of Political Science, and Director of the Environmental Policy Major, Dino Christenson, has published an article he co-authored with recent WashU PhD graduate and former Weidenbaum Center Graduate Affiliate Lucas Boschelli, in the journal Research & Politics. The article analyzes how subsidiaries shape corporations’ political interests and collaborations as they seek to influence the Supreme Court. Boschelli worked on the piece with Christenson while he was still a PhD grad student in political science at WashU. Christenson and Boschelli were joined by Janet Box-Steffensmeier, Vernal Riffe Professor and Distinguished University Professor of Political Science at Ohio State University.

"Being a member of the Weidenbaum Center gives me a strong sense of pride, as if I were a former alumnus. As a junior scholar, the academic and career advice I have received from many scholars has been crucial in setting research questions and paths that are more important and meaningful to me and the community. My regular interdisciplinary activities have provided much reflection on the role of academics in society and the world. I believe that my two years in the center and WashU will remain as one of my best memories for the remaining course of my career as a researcher and person."
