Project Title: Increasing Support for Reconciliation in Settler Colonial Societies: The Role of Informational Interventions
Marco Mendoza Aviña, Harvard University
Marco Mendoza Aviña is a third-year Ph.D. candidate and a James M. and Cathleen D. Stone Ph.D. Scholar in Inequality and Wealth Concentration in the Department of Government at Harvard University. Marco studies how diversity, inequality, and exclusion shape elections, public opinion, and voting behavior. His research agenda involves (re)assessing contextual effects in politics, reducing prejudice through persuasion, and—for his dissertation—understanding how and why identity politics mostly caters to affluent voters, not those it claims to represent. More broadly, Marco is interested in race and ethnic politics, migration and citizenship, class and inequality, survey methodology, experimental research, and metascience.
