CV
Alice Cho Timken
I am a PhD student at the Maxwell School at Syracuse University, studying comparative politics and law and courts.
I am interested in high courts, judicial independence, and judicial behavior.
I grew up in Albany, California. Before graduate school, I worked for an INGO in refugee rights and in marketing and e-commerce for consumer brands in New York City.
I received my master's degree in political science from New York University and bachelor's degree in politics from Pomona College in Claremont, California.
