Chris Flores is a PhD candidate in political science at Stanford University. Chris’ research broadly examines race, ethnicity, and political behavior in the U.S. using machine learning and causal inference techniques. Their dissertation focuses on the ethnoracial identities of Latinos, who make up one in five individuals in the U.S. and complicate prevailing understandings of race and ethnicity. Using surveys, interviews, and administrative data, their dissertation explores the multiple ways Latinos identify their race in the U.S., how and why these ethnoracial identities are linked to political attitudes, and how they are shaped by institutions and social movements. In other projects, they examine Latino partisanship and immigration attitudes, racial fluidity, and political campaign rhetoric on immigration and Latinos. The Fund for Latino Scholarship helped support their attendance at the 2026 APSA Annual Meeting.
