Overview
Jan G. Voelkel's research focuses on political change, behavior change, and metascience.

For example, Voelkel’s research has examined the conditions under which American voters refuse undemocratic elites, support women candidates for president, and back economically progressive politicians. He is a member of the faculty at the Brooks School and the Department of Sociology.
Professor Voelkel received his Ph.D. and M.A. in Sociology from Stanford University, his M.S. in Social and Behavioral Â鶹ÊÓƵ from Tilburg University, and his B.S. in Social Â鶹ÊÓƵ from the University of Cologne.
