Christian Hosam
Assistant Professor of Political Science
My research agenda is largely split between work related to racial and ethnic politics and the American Political Economy and the intersections between those two topics. I am currently working on my first book, which explores the relationship between the increasing centrality of Black Members of Congress to governing that institution with the racialized constraints that they face as legislators of color. At Wellesley, I teach courses that speak to the component parts of these interests, including Intro to American Politics, American Political Economy, Black Politics, and A Seat at the Table? Race and Representation in American Political Institutions.
