Speaker’s Bio

Thomas E. Mann earned his B.A. in political science at the University of Florida and his M.A. and Ph.D. at the University of Michigan. Mann has taught at many universities including Princeton and the University of Virginia; conducted polls for congressional candidates; and chaired the Board of Overseers of the National Election Studies.

Mann is a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and a member of the Council on Foreign Relations. His latest book, written with his longtime collaborator Norman Ornstein, is a New York Times bestseller entitled It’s Even Worse Than It Looks: How the American Constitutional System Collided With the New Politics of Extremism (2012). A new expanded paper edition was released in 2016.
