Alumnae Spotlight
Kathleen (Katie) Marchetti '07 is currently completing her doctoral work in Political Science and Women’s Studies at the Pennsylvania State University. Katie received her dual M.A. in Political Science and Women’s Studies from Penn State in 2009 and is expected to receive a dual Ph.D. in Political Science and Women’s Studies in the summer of 2013. Her academic research, focusing broadly on questions related to gender in politics and the role(s) interest groups play in the political process, has been published in peer-reviewed journals in both Women’s Studies (Gender, Place & Culture) and Political Science (Interest Groups & Advocacy). In her dissertation, Katie explores the linkages between interest groups and public policy and considers how citizens’ intersecting socio-political identities (e.g. gender and race) are represented in political agendas.
