Robert Martinez is a Ph.D. candidate in the department of political science at the University of Notre Dame who also holds an M.A. from the Graduate Center at the City University of New York. Broadly focused on race and ethnicity, his research centers on political participation, immigration politics, and political power. Additionally, he is interested in the limitations and advancement of survey research among racial and ethnic minorities. His dissertation examines how experiences with racialized discrimination impact the political participation and ideology of Latinos in the contemporary United States. He uses a mixed-methods approach to his research, pairing quantitative analysis with in-depth interviews. With the support of the APSA Fund for Latino Scholarship, Robert will expand his qualitative work and collect in-depth interviews with Latinos in the Southwest.
