Gerald Gamm is professor of political science and of history at the University of Rochester. A native of Sharon, Massachusetts, he earned his A.B. and Ph.D. from Harvard. At Rochester, Gamm served 13 years as chair (and one year as co-chair) of the Department of Political Science and six years as chair (or co-chair) of the Faculty Senate. Gamm is the author or coauthor of Steering the Senate: The Emergence of Party Organization and Leadership, 1789–2024 (Cambridge), Urban Exodus: Why the Jews Left Boston and the Catholics Stayed (Harvard), and The Making of New Deal Democrats: Voting Behavior and Realignment in Boston, 1920–1940 (Chicago). Currently he is writing a book on party reform and the origins of abortion politics in the 1970s, and he is researching the rise of partisan polarization, the emergence of social issues in American politics, and the role that party competition has played in advancing the lives, educations, and incomes of ordinary Americans.
