Curriculum Vitae

Research Interests:

Mariah Zeisberg's research focuses on constitutional theory, law and politics, and liberal and democratic theory. She is broadly interested in the significance of political conflict and legal disagreement for our theories of constitutional authority. She is currently preparing a book manuscript on the constitutional war powers of the US Congress and President, exploring the value of rightly-structured conflict between these two branches as to the proper scope of war powers. Zeisberg received a B.A. in Government and Plan II Liberal Arts from the University of Texas at Austin, a Ph.D. in Politics from Princeton University, and held a postdoctoral fellowship at Brown University. Her work has appeared in Perspectives on Politics, the International Journal of Constitutional Law, and the Good Society.

In 2009-2010 she will be on leave as a Stephen Tatum Scholar at the
University of Texas School of Law.
