Background

Professor Wamble’s research examines the relationship between race and politics. Specifically, he investigates the relationship between Black voters’ use of race in their political decisions. He also is the recipient of the 2019 APSA Best Dissertation in Race and Ethnic Politics award.  Currently, he is working on his book manuscript tentatively titled, “We Choose You: Investigating Black Voter Candidate Selection,” which offers a new way of thinking about how Black voters use race as a means by which to select political candidates to support. His research has been supported by the National Science Foundation and can be found in the Journal of Politics, Politics, Groups, and Identities, PS: Political Science & Politics. He has also contributed to The Monkey Cage, 538, and NPR’s Code Switch podcast.
