Grae Roeder specializes in political theory and is especially concerned with aesthetic representation and narrative in political discourse as well as the relationship between subjectivity and structure. They are graduating summa cum laude in December of 2025 from the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities, where they had majors in political science, philosophy, and global studies. At UMN, they were exceptionally active in their academic community, such as in their service as president of Epistemai (UMN’s undergraduate journal of philosophy), as well as in their leading and organizing roles in various other clubs and reading groups. With attention to the increasing influence of the far-right, their thesis inquired into the possibility of a feminist and queer political project that turns to coalition and conversation, in effort to avoid collapsing the political into liberal individualism and epistemological position. Grae is currently applying to PhD programs to continue doing work that addresses the potential of political change, resistance, and relationships within (and through) oppressive conditions.
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.
