Meet Jasmine Smith, 2019 APSA Minority Fellowship Program Recipient
Jasmine Smith is a second year PhD student at Duke University where she studies behavior and identities and race and ethnic politics. She is interested in how individuals’ interactions with political institutions affects political behavior. More specifically, she looks at how involuntary interactions with the criminal justice system serve as (de)mobilizing agent for political participation. Jasmine currently has projects focusing on the mechanisms that lead to political participation after individuals interact with the police, skin color in police stops, and projects looking at the nuances of Black linked fate. Jasmine graduated from Indiana University, Bloomington in 2017, and was an APSA Ralph Bunche Summer Institute Scholar (RBSI) in 2016. She continues to be involved with the program, serving as a graduate assistant, mentor, and teaching assistant.
