Ellis Aizenberg is an assistant professor working on interest representation, lobbying, political attitudes and perceived legitimacy. She is interested in the role that interest organisations play in democratic systems and the potential they have to make such systems thrive.
For her research endeavours, Ellis Aizenberg uses a variety of different quantitative methods such as experiments, computational approaches and surveys as well as qualitative methods as interviews and focus groups.
Within several projects with PhD students, she currently studies the representative potential of interest organisations and how interest representation works in times of polarisation. The former project is a part of her starter grant on interest representation and political attitudes.
