Femke E. Bakker is universitair docent Politicologie aan het Instituut Politieke Wetenschap.
Femke E. Bakker bestudeert politiek en internationale betrekkingen vanuit een politiek psychologische invalshoek. Haar onderzoeksinteresse gaat uit naar de microfundamenten van democratische vredestheorie, politiek leiderschap, overtuigingssystemen, stressmanagement voor crisisbeslissers en de impact van meditatie op politiek gedrag. Ze onderwijst op het gebied van politieke psychologie, internationale betrekkingen en onderzoeksmethoden.
Momenteel werkt Bakker aan twee onderzoeksprojecten. Can Lovingkindness Meditation Support Tolerant Political Behavior, gefinancierd door de PEACE Grant van het Mind and Life Institute, bestudeert de impact van meditatie op politiek gedrag. Samen met dr. Niels van Willigen onderzoekt Bakker of en hoe de overtuigingen van leiders hun besluitvorming beïnvloeden.
