Lydia Brashear Tiede

I am a professor in the Department of Political Science at the University of Houston. My current research focuses on studying high courts comparatively, predominantly in Latin America and Europe, as well as comparative research on the rule of law and democratic backsliding in developing countries.  My book, Judicial Vetoes: Decision-Making on Mixed Selection Constitutional Courts was published by Cambridge University Press in 2022.  

I also am a co-PI for an NSF-funded grant on Community Responsive Algorithms for Social Accountability (CRASA),   https://uh-crasa.org/
