His current projects examine the role of bureaucracy in agenda setting in the administrative state, congresssional attention to bureaucracy, and how policy makers and bureaucrats cope with and interact under uncertainty in policy making. He is currently finishing a manuscript tentatively titled Economizing Attention: Agenda Setting and the Influence of Bureaucracy in American Politics. A separate project, "Attention, Politics, or Performance? Explaining Congressional Attention to the Bureaucracy", examines sources of variation in congressional attention to federal agencies and programs over time. Professor Workman’s teaching encompasses American politics, public policy, political institutions, and statistical methodology. Interests
