Early career and education
Hayward obtained a BA in politics from Princeton University in 1988, both an MA and an MPhil from Yale University in 1994, and a PhD from Yale University in 1998.[1] In 1999, she became a professor at the Ohio State University, before moving to Washington University in St. Louis in 2007.[1]
Career
Hayward published her first book, De-facing power, in 2000. The book argues that the main conceptions of power in political theory assume that it necessarily consists of one group or individual reducing the capacity of others to act freely, so that it has a sort of "face" by which it can be identified.
Hayward's second book, How Americans Make Race: Stories, Institutions, Spaces, was published in 2013. The book is partly motivated by a paradox in American racial inequality: how to reconcile the empirical reality of racial inequality with the pervasive norms against racism, and more broadly how to explain the tangible material consequences of identities if we understand identities only as cultural narratives that people associate themselves with.[4] Hayward uses the case of residential real estate to illustrate how apparently non-political motivations for this ubiquitous behavior, such as a desire for comfort and security, have origins in stories about racial identity that American culture has historically relied on to ensure that racial categories have material consequences, through tools like neighborhood segregation and the development of exclusive suburbs.[4] These ideas, which have shaped peoples' relationships to physical space, were explicitly rationalized by politicians and developers as those spaces were being developed, and these rationalizations were based on racial identities.[5] This book won the Urban Politics Section of the American Political Science Association's best book award for 2013.[6]
Hayward is a member of the 2020-2024 editorial leadership of the American Political Science Review,[7][8] which is the most selective political science journal.[9] She is also a past editor of Political Research Quarterly and the Journal of Politics.[1]
