Chase A. Privett

Hello! My name is Chase Privett, and I am an Assistant Professor of Political Science at Morningside University in Sioux City, Iowa. I received my Ph.D. in political science from the University of California, Los Angeles in June 2024.

At Morningside University, I teach classes in political science broadly with a focus on American politics and methodology. I have taught a variety of courses, including: “Intro to U.S. Government,” “Political Science Research Methods,” “Intro to U.S. Law,” “State and Local Politics,” and “Congress and the Presidency.” I am excited to dive back into teaching “Political Psychology” in the Spring as well!

My research largely focuses on group identities in American politics with an emphasis on generations. Specifically, my research focuses on whether and to what extent generational cohorts have crystallized as salient social identities within the United States. In addition, I recently began pedagogical research focusing on civic engagement, classroom interactivity, and community building.
