Valeria Sinclair-Chapman studies American politics with a focus on race, identity, and political representation, including how racial and social identities shape political attitudes, symbols (such as Confederate imagery), and participation in social movements. Her work also examines diversity within political institutions and academia, and how public agendas around issues like environmental crises are shaped by media and social media. She frequently contributes editorial and mentorship-oriented pieces aimed at supporting broader participation in political science as a discipline.
