Meet DFP Spring Fellow, Anna Nguyen, University of Washington

Anna Nguyen is a second-year PhD student in the Department of Political Science at the University of Washington, Seattle. Her fields of study are American politics, race and ethnic politics, and political methodology. She received her B.S. in political science and economics from the University of Oregon, where she became interested in tenant organizing and the intersections between housing and labor struggles. Her current research examines the role of social networks in building solidarity and collective power among immigrant domestic workers. Anna is passionate about political education, and her work is inspired by efforts to produce knowledge inside and outside of academic spaces. After completing her PhD, Anna hopes to continue engaging in work centered around social movement organizing as a researcher and educator at the university level.

The APSA Diversity Fellowship Program (DFP), 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. Since its inception, the DFP has designated more than 600 fellows and contributed to the successful completion of doctoral political science programs for over 100 individuals. APSA has once again awarded a new cycle to provide support for PhD students currently in their first or second year as of Spring 2024. Please join us in congratulating the 2024-2025 class of fellows.
