Prof. Brooks earns historic tenure
ASHLEY BLUM / The Dartmouth Staff Government professor Deborah Brooks became an associate professor at the College on July 1, making her the first female junior faculty member to attain tenure in the government department in 18 years. Brooks, whose past research has focused on public opinion, polling, campaign advertising, and the role of gender in politics, is currently finalizing a book "He Runs, She Runs: Gender Stereotypes, Double Standards, and Political Campaigns" that has been accepted for publication by Princeton University Press and will be released in 2012. Two other female faculty members in the government department Linda Fowler and Lisa Baldez already have tenure, but they were hired at the senior level and received tenure in Dartmouth's government department at the time of hire. After earning her bachelor's degree from the University of California, Santa Cruz in 1993, Brooks went on to earn her Ph.D.
