Biography
Fan Lu鈥檚 primary fields of study are American Politics and Quantitative Methods, with a focus on race. She is interested in understanding political relations between Latinos, Asians, and African Americans. 鈥淧eople of color鈥 in the United States share similar experiences with discrimination and political mis/underrepresentation. Yet, each group has distinct racial and cultural identities that lend themselves to different political needs and aspirations. What motivates them to form political coalitions with one another? What instigates inter-group conflict? She answers these questions using a combination of individual and aggregate level data, with plans to extend the study of racial politics beyond the United States.
