Ignangeli Salinas-Muñiz

I am a Ph.D. candidate in Political Science at the University of Michigan and my research is supported by the NSF Graduate Fellowship Program. I broadly study representation, accountability, and decolonial possibilities within the United States empire—with a particular focus on the U.S. territories and other U.S. geographical pockets where racial and ethnic minorities are subject to autonomy-limiting institutions. However, my interest in United States imperialism guides my work at various intersections. I am a proud alum of the Ralph Bunche Summer Institute and the Summer Research Opportunities Program.
