Ángel Saavedra Cisneros is an Assistant Professor at Bowdoin College. His research focuses on citizen behavior, media, Latina/e/o/x politics, Mexican politics, campaigns, elections, and political psychology.  

His 2017 book: “Latino Identity and Political Attitudes: Why Are Latinos Not Republican?” won the American Political Science Association’s Racial and Ethnic Politics Section Best Book Award for Race and Political Behavior. His research argues that people have multiple identities and that these identities coexist and are complementary rather than in conflict. He uses measurement models to better understand the underlying factors that shape political behavior and attitudes about immigration.
