Kylah Adams, Agnes Scott College
Kylah Adams is a rising senior at Agnes Scott College, pursuing a double major in political science and women’s, gender, and sexuality studies. During her time at Agnes Scott, Kylah has been an active member of her community, serving as a peer tutor, an environmental resident, and a member of the Student Government Association’s executive board. She is also a first-generation college student and a member of Tri-Alpha, representing Agnes Scott while lobbying in Washington, D.C. to preserve federal protections of Medicaid and SNAP benefits. Kylah’s academic interests lie within the intersections of American political behavior and identity. She is particularly interested in how both marginalized identities (race, class, sexuality) interact with other forms of identity (such as sorority affiliation and partisan identity) to inform the political decisions of U.S. voters. Kylah has been fortunate to present her work on the participatory habits of Generation Z at the Southern Political Science Association annual meeting and looks forward to furthering her research and incorporating feminist lenses into her academic work. After graduating, Kylah plans to pursue a doctoral degree in political science and work as a college professor to teach the next generation of political scientists and researchers.
