Writer Researcher Educator

Hello! My name is Monique Newton (she/her) and I am a 6th-year Ph.D. Candidate in the Political Science Department at Northwestern University. My primary subfield is American Politics, and my second subfield is methods. My research interests lie at the intersection of race and ethnic politics, urban politics, political behavior, political psychology, and political violence. A mixed-method scholar, I employ ethnographic, interview, and experimental methods to examine Black political behavior in cities in the United States. I was recently awarded the Presidential Fellowship at Northwestern. I currently reside in Chicago, IL.
