Autorenporträt

Amanda Lea Robinson (PhD, Stanford University, 2013) is an Associate Professor in the Department of Political Science at Ohio State University. Her research focuses on the interactions between culture and politics in Sub-Saharan Africa, with a particular emphasis on Malawi. Her past research has addressed the political causes and consequences of ethnic and national group identification in sub-Saharan Africa, and on how group identification impacts interethnic trust and cooperation in diverse settings. She is currently pursuing several lines of research, including the political implications of cultural revival in Malawi, African immigrant assimilation and political participation in the United States, and gendered constraints on political engagement across Africa.
