Andrew McCall is an Assistant Professor of Political Science at Columbia University and a scholar of race, bureaucracy, and American Political Development. His research uses formal models, quantitative methods, and archival sources to study the causes of racial inequality in policing. His current book project examines police reform during the Civil Rights Movement, focusing on how the competing political projects of racial justice advocates, good government reformers, and white supremacists shaped what came to be seen as best practices in policing in the decades that followed. His research has been funded by the Center for Empirical Legal Studies at the University of California, Berkeley, and the National Science Foundation, and has been published in the Journal of Politics and American Journal of Political Science. He earned a Ph.D. in political science from the University of California at Berkeley, a B.A. in philosophy, politics, and economics from the University of Oxford, and a B.A. in philosophy and religion from Truman State University. Before beginning at Columbia he was a Provost Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Chicago.
