Hannah L. Paul, PhD

Hi! I am an Assistant Professor of Political Science and Critical Race and Ethnic Studies at the University of Denver. I earned a PhD in Political Science at the University of Colorado Boulder in 2022. 

My research focuses on the causes and consequences of including underrepresented groups in democratic politics. I study the factors that promote the political integration of immigrant-origin people from the perspective of immigrant behavior and native-born public opinion. I also study the effects of increases in women's political representation. My methodological research focuses on the implementation of models for pooled time series data in political science, especially machine learning techniques. 

My work has been published in journals such as Political Science Research and Methods, Polity, Social Science Quarterly, Legislative Studies Quarterly, and Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies. Check out my recent post on the London School of Economics' USA blog where Courtney J. Nava and I describe our recent publication, which helps explain variation in support for refugees.
