Christian Hosam is an incoming fourth year doctoral student in the Department of Political Science at Berkeley. Broadly, his interests are in race and politics, with particular interests in Black politics, coalition and conflict between communities of color, public health, and the politics of representation. His dissertation project, Corrupting the Conscience: The Congressional Black Caucus and Constraints of Black Politics, looks at why, even in spite of increasing influence and seniority, the Congressional Black Caucus does not account for corresponding gains for Black communities around the country. His research has been published or is forthcoming in Sociological Forum, The Journal of Health Politics, Policy, and Law and Politics, Groups, and Identities. He is also the author of Latino Politics, 3rd. Edition with Professor Lisa Garcia Bedolla.
