 Assistant Professor
 Natalie Masuoka –
American Politics, Political BehaviorNatalie Masuoka received her Ph.D. from the University of
California, Irvine. She specializes in the area of American racial and ethnic
politics with a focus on political behavior and public opinion. Her work pays
particular attention to the role of racial identification in American politics
and the relative comparisons among African Americans, Asian Americans, and
Latinos. Her dissertation entitled “Rethinking Race and Politics: Mixed Race
and the Trajectory of Minority Politics in the United States" examines a
possible new identity group: those who self identify as mixed race or
multiracial. Her most recent project examines the use of implicit racial
appeals in debates involving immigration policy and their impact on the public
opinion of both whites and racial minorities. Her research has been published
in journals such as American Politics Research, Political Research Quarterly,
and Social Science Quarterly. She teaches courses on political
participation, racial and ethnic politics, immigration policy, research methods
and introductory classes on American government.
