Hi, I'm Jaclyn Kaslovsky, an Assistant Professor of Political Science at Rice University. My research focuses on Congress, representation, and women in politics.  In my current research, I analyze how legislators choose to allocate their resources, including their time and staff, and the effect of these choices on the quality of representation. In doing so, I seek to provide an update to the traditional “home style” literature that explains congressional members’ attention to their home districts. My work has appeared in outlets such as The American Political Science Review and The Journal of Politics. 

Prior to joining the community at Rice, I was a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the Center for the Study of Democratic Politics at Princeton University. I completed my Ph.D. in Political Science at Harvard University and my B.A. in Political Science from New York University, magna cum laude.
