Arica Schuett

Ph.D. Candidate, Political Science, Emory University

 

I am a Ph.D. candidate in the political science department at Emory University.

​​

My research focuses on race, urban politics, and electoral behavior. I use quantitative methods to analyze surveys, voter files, and administrative data to better understand the relationship between the racial environment, political attitudes, and electoral behavior. 

​​

My work focuses on Black Americans in the South and Washington D.C. where racial diversity, population change, and data availability allow me to observe recent changes in race and electoral outcomes. 

​​

In my first published research article, my co-authors and I document the evolution of attitudes toward gentrification in D.C.  I have also co-authored a pedagogical paper with my labmates on the best practices for a lab in the social sciences

​

I graduated with a B.A. in Economics and minors in International Studies and French from the University of Washington in 2019. Before getting my bachelor's degree I worked as a visual artist in Seattle where I also taught drawing and painting at The Gage Academy of Art after studying in the atelier of Mark Kang-O'Higgins. A custom-painted piano of mine is housed permanently in the lobby of Seattle's classical radio station KING FM.
