Kiela Crabtree is a PhD. Candidate in Political Science at the University of Michigan with a focus on American Politics and conflict in the United States. Her work focuses on the impact of violence — specifically violence driven by identity — on political participation and public opinion. In her dissertation, she provides a more nuanced understanding of racially-motivated violence in the United States and the lasting implications of such violence on the political behavior of those targeted. She is an American Political Science Foundation Minority Fellow, and her research has been supported by the Hanes Walton Award for the Study of Race and Ethnic Politics, in addition to the Converse-Miller Fellowship in American Political Behavior.

David Cortez is Assistant Professor of Political Science and Latinx Studies at the University of Notre Dame. His research centers on ethnic and racial identity with particular focus on intersectional and situational identity salience. His current book project explores the emergence of a disproportionately Latinx immigration law enforcement workforce as a metaphor for the minority experience in the United States. Drawing on extensive fieldwork, including interviews with and observations of more than one-hundred Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents across Texas, Arizona, and California, his research engages questions of belonging, obligation, and liminality to reveal the careful negotiation of cross-cutting social group memberships of Latinx immigration agents caught between two worlds: the police and the policed. His research has been supported by the National Science Foundation and the American Political Science Association Minority Fellowship Program. He received his PhD in Government from Cornell University and was a postdoctoral research associate at the Institute for International and Regional Studies (PIIRS) at Princeton University.
