Jeffery A. Jenkins

I am Provost Professor of Public Policy, Political Science, and Law; Maria B. Crutcher Professor of Citizenship and Democratic Values; and Director of the Political Institutions and Political Economy (PIPE) Collaborative at the Sol Price School of Public Policy, University of Southern California.

American political history is a favorite topic of mine and plays an important role in my research. Much of my work focuses on the origins and development of American political institutions, notably congressional and partisan institutions.

I am founding editor of the Journal of Political Institutions and Political Economy (JPIPE), which began publishing in 2020, and the Journal of Historical Political Economy (JHPE), which began publishing in 2021. I was Editor in Chief of The Journal of Politics for six years (2015-2020).
