Christina Bambrick

Christina Bambrick is the Filip Family Assistant Professor of Political Science at the University of Notre Dame, where she became a Kellogg Institute faculty fellow in 2022. She specializes in constitutional theory and development, and her research and teaching interests range from American and comparative constitutionalism to republican theory and the history of political thought. 

Bambrick is currently writing a book manuscript on the horizontal application of rights to non-state actors in comparative context. The book studies shifting understandings of public and private in comparative constitutionalism, specifically in the United States, India, Germany, South Africa, and the European Union. 

Before coming to Notre Dame, Bambrick taught at Clemson University. She earned a doctorate in government from the University of Texas at Austin, where she was recognized for excellence in teaching by the College of Liberal Arts.
