Gianna Englert is a political theorist and historian of political thought whose research examines the intersections of liberalism, democracy, and citizenship in modern European political history. She is an Associate Professor of Political Science at Southern Methodist University. Her 2024 book, *Democracy Tamed: French Liberalism and the Politics of Suffrage* (Oxford University Press), analyzes how nineteenth-century French liberals negotiated the tensions between democratic participation and the preservation of political order, particularly through debates over suffrage rights. Englert’s work contributes to broader understandings of liberal political theory, the history of representative government, and the contested meanings of democracy in modern Europe.
