Concentrations:
Comparative politics; gender and politics; Latin American politics; race and ethnicity in politics.

Current research:
Htun's work focuses on the initiatives and responses that states take with regard to gender, race, and ethnicity. Her first book analyzed how-and whether-gender policy reform is possible in countries with hegemonic religious institutions undergoing major political changes. Through a close examination of the politics of abortion, divorce, and the family in Latin America, she theorized the gendered dimensions of transitions to democracy, religious conflict, and social activism. Her second book explains why governments offer guarantees of political inclusion—through candidate quotas in parties and reserved seats in parliament—to women, ethnic minorities, and subordinate racial groups. Her third book, written in collaboration with Laurel Weldon, will explore when and why governments promote women’s rights through a comparative analysis of the experiences of 70 countries between 1975 and 2005. Research for this project is being funded by the National Science Foundation.
