Kyle Van Rensselaer

Welcome! I research political geography and local governance in the United States. I am also substantively interested in campaign finance, historical political economy, Bayesian methods, and clever tricks to avoid crying while cleaning data.

I am on the 2025-2026 academic job market.

I was a 2024 Parke Fellow at the Brennan Center for Justice; my focus was on redistricting and voting behavior for their Democracy Program.
