Angel Sosa Llanos will graduate from Emory University in spring 2026 with a BA in political science. His research interests are race and ethnic politics, Latino political engagement, voting behavior, and the politics of immigration. He developed and pursued these research interests as a 2025 Ralph Bunche Summer Institute scholar, 2024 Emory Summer Undergraduate Research Fellow, 2024 Emory Center for Law and Social Sciences fellow, and through internships with the Emory Votes Initiative, the Latinx Studies Initiative, the Southern Poverty Law Center, and the Latino Community Fund of Georgia. He has presented his research at the APSA Annual Meeting, the Michigan Emerging Scholars Conference, the MPSA Annual Meeting, and the Emory Summer Undergraduate Research Symposium. His senior thesis investigates how race and education interact to shape misreporting of voter turnout in large national surveys. After graduation, he plans to pursue a PhD in political science to become a professor.
The APSA Diversity Fellowship Program, formerly the Minority Fellowship Program, was established in 1969 as a fellowship competition to diversify the political science profession. The DFP provides support to students applying to, or in the early stages of, a PhD program in political science. APSA has once again awarded a new cycle to provide support for students currently in the process of applying to political science PhD programs for Fall 2026. Please join us in congratulating the 2026-2027 class of fellows.
