Professor Wamble’s research examines the relationship between race and politics, with particular focus on how Black voters use race in their political decision-making. He is the recipient of the 2019 APSA Best Dissertation in Race and Ethnic Politics award. His book, We Choose You: How Black Voters Decide Which Candidates to Support (Cambridge University Press), presents a new framework for understanding how Black voters evaluate and select political candidates. His research has been supported by the National Science Foundation and has appeared in the Journal of Politics, Politics, Groups, and Identities, and PS: Political Science & Politics. He teaches courses on contemporary race relations, Harry Potter and the Politics of Social Identity, and The Politics of Shondaland, as well as graduate seminars on political behavior and political representation. He has also contributed to The Monkey Cage, FiveThirtyEight, and NPR’s Code Switch.
