Description:

Please join the Race, Ethnicity, and Politics Workshop as they host Andrene Wright-Johnson, Assistant Professor of African-American Studies, University of Wisconsin-Madison. Session title and abstract forthcoming.

Andrene Wright-Johnson's is a social scientist interested in Black political behavior and urban politics at the intersection of race, gender, and class. Wright’s work seeks to advance our understanding of identity politics, explore the internal dynamics of Black politics more precisely, and situate a Black feminist consciousness in political decision-making. She continues to champion techniques that best account for intra-group differences within marginalized communities and is working on a book project that’s committed to the workings of Black racial groups within an urban context. Her work has been supported by the [American Political Science Association](https://www.apsanet.org/About/About-APSA), the [Center for American Women and Politics](https://cawp.rutgers.edu/), the [Association for the Study of Black Women and Politics](https://www.asbwp.org/index.html) and the [Center for the Study of Diversity and Democracy](https://csdd.northwestern.edu/).
