Curriculum Vitae

Associate Professor and Director of Undergraduate Studies

Political Science

Philip Rocco is an Associate Professor in the Department of Political Science. He is also the co-editor of Publius: The Journal of Federalism. Prof. Rocco's research examines the intersection between federalism, the policymaking process, and the political economy of policy expertise. He teaches courses on American politics, the policymaking process, and the politics of numbers. Prof. Rocco was formerly a postdoctoral associate at the University of Pittsburgh's Health Policy Institute. He earned his Ph.D. and M.A. degrees from the University of California, Berkeley.

Prof. Rocco is completing work on a book manuscript, Counting Like a State (forthcoming, University Press of Kansas), which examines how conflict and cooperation between federal, state, and local governments shapes the implementation of the United States census. A second book project, Madison鈥檚 Engineers: How Policy Science Remade Federalism (under contract, Columbia University Press), will analyze how policy experts reshaped the relationship between the federal government and the states during the latter half of the twentieth century. A third project, supported by a multi-year grant from the Joyce Foundation, focuses on how U.S. cities are using their American Rescue Plan Act funds to support novel community violence interventions.
