Rebekah Herrick is a professor of political science. Her areas of interest include gender and politics and legislatures. Her work has appeared in The Journal of Politics, Social Science Quarterly, American Politics Research Legislative studies Quarterly and several other journals.

Representation and Institutional Design addresses the issues of institutions and representation by examining how variation in institutional design can affect many aspects of how legislators represent their constituents. It examines the relationships between legislative design (electoral laws, term limits, professionalism, and district size and magnitude) and many aspects of representation (symbolic, service, and policy representation, as well as legislators' incentives to represent).
