Cameron Thomas-Shah is a doctoral student at Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS). His research focuses on the impact of foreign malign influence on social movements within the United States. Building on a decade of foreign policy experience, Cameron’s dissertation examines the motivations behind malign influence operations and how these dynamics can inform democratic strategies for building more resilient and discerning information environments while protecting fundamental freedoms. Cameron holds an MA in international economics and American foreign policy from Johns Hopkins SAIS and a BA in international studies from Morehouse College.
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 their first or second year as of Spring 2026. Please join us in congratulating the 2026-2027 class of fellows.
