George Agustin Markarian, Loyola University Chicago
G. Agustin Markarian is an assistant professor at Loyola University Chicago. His research lies at the intersections of political representation and public policy, focusing on racial, ethnic, and class-based inequalities. Two questions motivate his research: how can we better protect marginalized communities from violence and incarceration? And, how can we improve marginalized communities’ political representation? His research is published in American Political Science Review, Legislative Studies Quarterly, and the American Politics Research.
