Grace C. Hartzell

I am a fifth year Government Ph.D. Candidate at the University of Texas at Austin. My primary research interests lie at the intersection of political parties, voter behavior, and urban and immigration policy in Europe and the United States. More specifically, I study the instances where political parties provide immigrants with opportunities to succeed and engage in their new country of residence and how these forms of inclusion influence noncitizens’ political behavior and citizens’ attitudes towards immigrants and immigration policy.

I graduated magna cum laude from Bryn Mawr College in 2020 with a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and Growth and Structure of Cities.
