James A. McCann
Professor of Political Science
Purdue University
at time of fellowship
2014 to 2015
McCann will complete a book on the effects of political campaigns in fostering partisan identification among Latino immigrants. Though other research on this topic has shown immigrants to be generally estranged from party politics, McCann finds considerable “potential” partisanship among immigrants. He will also coauthor an essay on Latino politics and immigration for the first issue of the new RSF online journal.
