Chinbo Chong is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Political Science at Northeastern University. Her main fields of study are American politics, political behavior, and race and ethnic politics. She was working on her book manuscript titled Identity Appeals in the Age of Immigration. Her book project uses original survey experiments, large observational political surveys, and qualitative data, which speaks to the discussion about the formation of political identity, how this differs for Asian American and Latino voters, and its impact on mobilizing these emerging American electorates. She also examines how immigrant voters form their party identification and the role of discrimination and xenophobic rhetoric on their civic engagement and collective action.
In 2020-2023, she was a postdoctoral fellow at the Center for Research on Race and Ethnicity in Society at Indiana University. From 2018-2019, she was a postdoctoral fellow at the Center for Study of Democratic Politics at Princeton University. In 2017-2018, she was a predoctoral fellow at Predoctoral Fellowships for Excellence through Diversity at the University of Pennsylvania.
