Katherine D. Kinzler, associate professor of psychology, writes in this opinion piece in The Hill about her concerns about the male dominated world of presidential politics.

"I can imagine the hypothetical study I would design in my experimental psychology lab to test the childhood impact of learning that our nation’s 45 presidents have all been men," she writes.
