Professor Stoll's research interests range from comparative politics to political methodology. Her substantive interests focus on democratic representation; political parties and elections; social cleavages, and political institutions. 

She has regional expertise in the advanced industrial democracies, particularly in Western Europe and Israel. Prior to joining the faculty at UCSB in 2005, Stoll spent a year as a research fellow at the Center for Basic Research in the Social Sciences at Harvard University. She also has an M.S. in statistics from Stanford University and an M.Phil in politics from the University of Oxford.  Her Stanford Ph.D. dissertation was a co-recipient of the 2005 Seymour Martin Lipset Award for the best dissertation in the comparative field by the Society for Comparative Research.

Stoll is currently at work on a book manuscript very loosely based on her dissertation that explores how large-scale changes in society shape political competition.  She is also at work on several articles.  Previous articles have appeared or are fothcoming in the Journal of Statistical Software, Comparative Political Studies, the Journal of Politics, Party Politics, and West European Politics.
