Kevin Angell

I am a Ph.D. student in the University of Chicago’s Program in Political Economy. I am affiliated with the Chicago Center on Democracy and the Social Science Division’s First Year Scholars Program. Substantively, my interests are primarily inside American Politics. Methodologically, my research incorporates both quantitative and formal methods and seeks to employ non-traditional data sources. I have previously received funding from the Center for Effective Government at the University of Chicago, the American Political Science Association, and the Kellogg Institute (University of Notre Dame). I am particularly passionate about increasing access to political science and the social sciences, and I am working to bring the PS-AMP mentorship program to Chicago.

Prior to coming to the University of Chicago, I worked as a healthcare data scientist.  I completed my undergraduate education at the University of Notre Dame, where I received a B.A. in Political Science and Economics, summa cum laude. At Notre Dame, I studied under Jeff Harden and worked at the Wilson Sheehan Lab for Economic Opportunities with William Evans and Ethan Lieber. I also was part of the Kellogg International Scholars Program through which I serve as an alumni contact for undergraduate students. 

You can reach me at kevinjangell@uchicago.edu. Please reach out with any questions, feedback, or thoughts on potential collaborations. I am always happy to talk about research, my program or political science in general! Undergrads, this includes you! If you are a prospective applicant to the Political Science or Political Econ program here at Chicago and/or my move from industry, I’m happy to chat to share my experience. Please reach out via email.
