Becky Morton was a force of nature &, particularly as a junior female scholar, I admired her unapologetic nature especially when pushing for her postdocs’ rights at @NYUAD_SocialSci. I’ll always remain grateful for her mentorship during my time there & she will be deeply missed.

RIP Becky Morton. She was a pioneer in formal theory, lab experiments, elections, & political science. Her mentorship is well known. I remember first meeting her at #APSA when I was a lowly junior faculty member, where she was unbelievably generous with her time and ideas.

My heart is broken that we’ve lost my dear friend and mentor Becky Morton. She was brilliant, fearless, powerful, and incapable of lying. I’m pretty sure I’m a political scientist today through just the force of her will. I can’t fathom a world without her energy.

One of my first acts as chair of NYU Politics was to hire Becky Morton. Becky’s PhD was in economics. But her work, which transcended traditional disciplinary boundaries, reminds us that those boundaries need not constrain our work.
Rest in peace, Becky.

Our colleague Becky Morton passed away yesterday. She was a mentor and great friend to many of us. She fought her way to great success, built institutions, and tirelessly used her achievements as a perch to pull other people up. I am very sad.

I am truly sad. Becky Morton passed away last night. She was a great scholar, a mentor for many.
She was one of the persons who brought me to NYUAD. I am not sure if she knew how much I appreciated her mentorship and support.
I will deeply miss her.
RIP, Becky

Extremely saddened by the passing of Becky Morton. Becky was an incredible person, scholar, and mentor. She cared about people; she was so kind. I still cannot grasp what it will be like to not hear from her, or receive her emails. I will miss her deeply.

Becky Morton was a great scholar who also made our discipline better. She made up her own mind and broke through information cascades about talent like few others. It’s no wonder she helped to make NYU a great department. I will miss her. RIP Becky.
