Project Title: Mental Health and Asian American Political Participation in the Era of Contemporary Negative Racialization
Nathan Chan
Nathan Kar Ming Chan is an Assistant Professor of Political Science at Loyola Marymount University. His research interests include Racial/Ethnic Politics; Identity; and Political Behavior. He has published or forthcoming articles in outlets such as Perspectives on Politics, Public Opinion Quarterly, Political Behavior, and Political Research Quarterly – among others. This research grant will help fund data collection for a book manuscript that he is working on tentatively titled: Revisiting Asian American Political Participation in an Era of Contemporary Racialization. The project aims to put forward the most recent and comprehensive account of political participation among the fastest growing monoracial group in the United States – especially in response to accelerated contexts of hate since the start of the pandemic.
