Dear SIAM Members,
I am Brianne Heidbreder and would
like to briefly introduce myself as the new Editor for the Reviews and Essays
section of State and Local Government
Review. I am currently serving as an
Associate Professor in the Political Science Department at Kansas State
University in Manhattan, KS, where I live with my husband and daughter. I received a BA from Minnesota State
University, Moorhead (2001), a MA from Kansas State University (2004), and a
Ph.D. from the University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee (2008). My teaching and research interests fall at
the intersection of state and local politics and policy and public
administration, and I have published in scholarly outlets such as State Politics & Policy Quarterly, Legislative Studies Quarterly, Politics & Policy, and State and Local Government Review. Needless
to say, I am excited and eager to begin my work at SLGR.
