Julian Wamble, George Washington University

Julian Wamble is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Political Science at George Washington University. He studies American Politics with a focus in Political Behavior and Race and Ethnic Politics.

His book, We Choose You: How Black Voters Decide Which Candidates to Support (Cambridge University Press) investigates the sophisticated process of Black voter candidate selection. Contrary to the common assumption that Black voters will support Black politicians, Wamble explores what considerations, outside of race, partisanship, and gender, Black voters use to chose certain representatives over others.

His published work can be found in the Journal of Politics, PS: Political Science & Politics, Politics Groups, and Identities. He received the 2022 Distinguished Junior Scholar Award in Political Psychology as well as the 2019 American Political Science Association's Best Dissertation Award in Race & Ethnic Politics. He also received the National Science Foundation's Doctoral Dissertation Research Improvement Grant.
