Welcome!

My name is Kesicia Dickinson. I am an Assistant Professor of Political Science and African American Studies at the University of Mississippi. I received my Ph.D. from Michigan State University in 2023.

My work examines American political behavior among both elites and the general public, focusing on race, gender, and politics. I am especially interested in mixed-methods approaches (e.g., surveys, interviews, focus groups) to understand how race and gender identities influence political decisions, such as voting and running for office, and how they shape individuals’ self-perceptions, ultimately affecting their choices.

I look forward to connecting with you!
