Rebeca J. Agosto Rosa is a Ph.D. candidate in the political science department at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. As a political psychologist, she is interested in how identity, intergroup contact, and the media influence political attitudes and behavior. Her dissertation examines how Spanish-language content in the media shapes intergroup attitudes in the U.S., drawing attention to non-political media’s political consequences. The APSA Fund for Latino Scholarship will help her replicate and extend her preliminary findings. Agosto Rosa holds a master’s degree in political science from UIUC and a bachelor’s degree in political science and journalism from the University of Puerto Rico, Río Piedras.
