Patrick Rickert

I'm Patrick Rickert and I am a Visiting Assistant Professor of Government at St Lawrence University. I earned my PhD from Washington University in St Louis in April 2023. From 2017-2020, I served as a Graduate Research Fellow for the Weidenbaum Center on the Economy, Governance, and Public Policy. My primary interest is the distribution of power in American national institutions, with a particular focus on Congress. I also teach and conduct research on the politics of disability.  In my free time, I write and host pub trivia games and am in a years-long effort to try and complete every New York Times crossword that has been published in my lifetime.
