David Darmofal

Assistant Professor

Political Science

University of South Carolina

I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Political Science at the University of South Carolina. My research interests are in political behavior, American political development, and political methodology.

Much of my research examines how political geography and spatial interactions shape the behavior of political actors. Much of this research employs an historical lens, including a research project on voter participation in the United States since the 1820s.

My methodological research interests include spatial analysis, survival analysis, and time series analysis. My recent research examines Bayesian spatial survival models that incorporate spatial dependence in risk propensity. My current methods research includes a book project, Spatial Analysis for the Social Sciences (under contract at Cambridge University Press).
