Magda Hinojosa is Director and Professor in the School of Politics and Global Studies.
She is the author, with Miki Caul Kittilson, of Seeing Women, Strengthening Democracy: How Women in Politics Foster Connected Citizens (Oxford University Press, 2020). This work examines how the increased descriptive representation of women as legislators affects citizens' political engagement. The book draws on a panel survey of 1200 Uruguayans, funded by USAID, that was carried out before and after the implementation of a national gender quota.
Professor Hinojosa is also the author of Selecting Women, Electing Women: Political Representation and Candidate Selection in Latin America (Temple University Press, 2012). The fieldwork for that manuscript was funded by the Fulbright Foundation. Her work on the book was financed in part by a Ford Foundation Postdoctoral Fellowship. The book has been reviewed by The Journal of Politics, NACLA Report on the Americas, Latin American Politics & Society, and Choice, among others.
Professor Hinojosa teaches Comparative Government (POS 150), Politics of Latin America (POS 453), Politics of Mexico (POS 454), Latin American Politics though Film (POS 305), and Women and Politics (POS 552), among others. Syllabi for some of these courses are available on Professor Hinojosa's website.
Professor Hinojosa's research focuses on the political incorporation of women in Latin America. Much of her work focuses on the role of candidate selection in explaining women's descriptive representation.
