Leslie Baker

Baker's areas of expertise include women's inclusion in politics, especially elections. She studies the issues that arise when women run for state legislatures and how female legislators work to get legislation passed is a key theme, too. Baker works on campus and in the community to register and engage voters, especially those from underrepresented groups in voting, she will engage in a Community Engaged Learning Fellowship at Mississippi State University to drive up voter registrations among disabled and Black citizens in the community in Fall 2023.
