Myles Ndiritu is a senior at Morehouse College majoring in international studies, with a minor in data science. He is especially interested in applying quantitative methods to study how great powers influence development outcomes in African states. Myles has co-authored two research projects—one analyzing Chinese investment in Sub-Saharan Africa and another examining China’s position in the global battery supply chain—both currently in the process of publication. Myles has presented his work at major political science conferences such as APSA, ISA, and PeaceScience. Dedicated to building research capacity on campus, Myles serves as a teaching assistant for a political science research methods course and is a senior fellow with the Morehouse Community Data Fellowship, where he mentors students and faculty in data analysis. Myles will further develop his research at a PhD program, with hopes to advance the understanding of development and governance in African states.
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.
