Paul Atwell

I am a graduate student in the joint Ph.D. in Political Science and Public Policy program at the University of Michigan.

My research centers on party identities as social identities in developing democracies and how and where parties foster them. My broader interests include development policy, social psychology, collective action, social network analysis, and more. My work on these topics has been published in the American Economic Review and the American Journal of Political Science.

I previously completed a B.S. in Political Science at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and worked as a Research Assistant at the Navarra Center for International Development (University of Navarra, Spain).

Field of Study:
