Angie N. Ocampo-Roland is an Assistant Professor of Political Science. Her research examines the social and political incorporation of racial and ethnic minorities, with a particular focus on the heterogeneity of the Latina/o/x population in the United States. Specifically, this involves two lines of work. First, she examines intergroup attitudes, particularly examining where Latinas/os/xs fit into an evolving racial hierarchy. Ocampo-Roland’s work compares multiple viewpoints, examining Latina/o/x political attitudes as well as those of White and Black Americans. Second, her work focuses on the heterogeneity of Latina/o/x political behavior with a focus on disaggregating the category of "Latina/o/x."
