Dear RSF:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Please join us next Wednesday, May 22 at 11 in the library and on Zoom for Guest Speaker Angela X. Ocampo’s presentation, “Truly at Home?: Social Belonging and Latina\/o\/x Political Engagement in Times of Exclusion.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ocampo is an Assistant Professor of Mexican American and Latina\/o\/x Studies at The University of Texas at Austin. She holds a PhD and an MA in Political Science from UCLA and a BA from Brown University in International Relations and Ethnic Studies. Ocampo specializes in the study of race and ethnicity in U.S. politics, with a specific focus on the Latina\/o\/x community. She teaches courses on political behavior and representation, minority politics, immigration and citizenship and Latina\/o\/x politics. Her research agenda examines the sociopolitical incorporation of racial, ethnic, and religious minorities both as every-day participants and as political leaders in American institutions. More specifically, she examines the social and psychological factors that mobilize Latinas\/os\/xs to engage politically, as well as those that propel them or deter them from running for elected office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She received the 2023 Adaljiza Sosa-Riddell Mentor Award for Exemplary Mentoring of Latino\/a Graduate Students in Political Science from the American Political Science Association. Ocampo is currently working on turning her 2019 dissertation, \u201cTruly home?: The Politics of Belonging and Latino Political Incorporation,\u201d winner of the APSA Best Dissertation Award in Race, Ethnicity and Politics into a book. The work examines the notion of perceived belonging to U.S. society and its influence on political interest and political engagement among Latinas\/os\/xs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
