About Me

I am a political science PhD Candidate at Emory University. My research investigates historical power-sharing and the historical political economy of autocracies more broadly. My dissertation examines the conflictual consequences of power-sharing in historical Europe through the distribution of specific goods in late Medieval England and contested successions across historical Europe. 

 

Prior to my PhD, I was a research analyst at EAB where I worked on projects supporting university revenue growth and public school district leaders with curriculum and skills assessment.  

 

When not reading through medieval documents or fixing error messages in my code, I enjoy diving around a volleyball court, backpacking, Egyptology, writing poetry that would disappoint my high school English teacher, and torturing my neighbors with my rudimentary piano.​​ My email is: bradley.erickson@emory.edu
