Andrew Scott Waugh is a third year doctoral student in political science at the University of California, San Diego. He arrived at UCSD via Duke University via Tallwood High School. He hails from Virginia Beach, VA, a city noted for its military community, massive suburban sprawl, and ingenious conversion of landfills into city parks. In addition to being an aspiring political scientist, Andrew is a recovering debater and former president of Duke Debate.
Professionally, Andrew is a member of the American Political Science Assocation and the Southwestern Political Science Association. He is currently working with Keith Poole and James Fowler on separate, but hopefully related, projects.
