Linette Sanchez is a first-year Ph.D. student at the University of Texas at Austin. Her subfields are American politics and methodology. Her research interests include race and ethnic politics, Latine politics, and immigration. Currently, Linette is researching the political participation of children of undocumented immigrants in the United States and how their political actions are driven by higher beliefs of political efficacy. Linette graduated summa cum laude from DePaul University with a BA in political science and applied diplomacy. At DePaul, Linette became interested in pursuing a Ph.D. as a Ronald E. McNair Scholar. Originally from the suburbs of Chicago, IL, Linette’s research is motivated by her experiences as a Latine child of immigrants in Chicago. After completing her Ph.D., Linette plans to pursue a career in academia where she hopes to continue engaging in work that advances our understanding of Latine politics and in mentoring underrepresented scholars like herself.
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.
