Mallory E. SoRelle

SoRelle’s research explores how the development, design, and implementation of public policies shape the political behavior of both elites and ordinary Americans. She pays particular attention to policies designed to regulate the economic, social, and political behavior of American citizens and firms. Motivated by events surrounding the 2008 financial crisis, her current work examines how the development of a U.S. political economy of credit influences policymakers', public interest groups', and citizens' engagement in the politics of consumer financial protection and the consequences of that engagement for both political and economic inequality. She has worked in consumer legal advocacy and electoral politics.
