This episode is the first in a special series in collaboration with Kate Baldwin at Yale University, featuring interviews with pioneering women who have left a lasting mark on political science.
In this episode we are joined by Margaret Levi, Professor Emerita of Political Science and Senior Fellow at the Freeman Spogli Institute at Stanford, as well as the Jere L. Bacharach Professor Emerita of International Studies at the University of Washington and one of political science’s most influential voices.
Yale graduate students Siu Yu Lo, Victor Wu, and Fiona Kniaz interview Professor Levi about her remarkable journey from her early experiences with the Civil Rights Movement to her trailblazing scholarly contributions.
Professor Levi discusses her transition from urban to comparative politics, reflected in her books Bureaucratic Insurgency and Of Rule and Revenue, one of the earliest major works of rational choice theory in comparative politics. Levi also reflects on her collaboration with economist Doug North and her evolution from Marxist theory to rational choice approaches, highlighting how political transaction costs became central to understanding politics and power.
