Teah Ardoin graduated from the University of California, Irvine, with a bachelor’s degree in political science. Afterwards, she received a master’s degree in higher education and administration policy from the University of California, Riverside. Teah is a second-year master’s student in political science at San Francisco State University (SFSU). She is a California State University predoctoral scholar awardee for students interested in conducting advanced-level research. During her first year at SFSU, Teah presented her research at a political science conference focusing on partisanship in the United States House of Representatives based on voting behavior by gender and party affiliation. She will present research during her second year at a social science conference investigating the significance of political parties over gender in reproductive rights. Teah plans to obtain a Ph.D. in political science in the subfield of American politics, examining the intersectionality of gender and overlapping identity categories in politics.
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. The goal of the program is to increase the number of scholars from minoritized backgrounds in the discipline and ultimately the professoriate. 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 2024. Please join us in congratulating the 2024-2025 class of fellows.
