Marc Hetherington
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Marc Hetherington is an American political scientist. He is an Associate Professor of Political Science at Vanderbilt University. Dr. Hetherington's research implies that decline in public support for social welfare policies is not due to an increase in conservatism but instead a decline in political trust. The implication of this research is that Bill Clinton could have successfully pursued more aggressive social policies during his second term. Hetherington is author of Why Trust Matters: Declining Political Trust and the Demise of American Liberalism and Parties, Politics, and Public Policy in America with William Keefe. Hetherington has taught at the University of Virginia, Princeton University, Bowdoin College, and Vanderbilt University. He received a bachelor degree from University of Pittsburgh and a PhD in Government from the University of Texas at Austin.
Hetherington is married to Suzanne Globetti, a political scientist at Vanderbilt University.
