Janelle Wong, the director of the University of Maryland’s Asian American Studies Program, has been selected as the American Academy of Political and Social Science’s W.E.B. Du Bois Fellow.
Wong, who is also a professor of American Studies and of government and politics, received the prestigious fellowship for her path-breaking research on Asian American public opinion, religion and immigrant integration, and the civic engagement of immigrant populations. She is one of eight scholars chosen by AAPSS as 2024 fall fellows for contributions to social science and deepening public understanding of social dynamics.
“At this pivotal moment in our nation’s democracy, we must look to social science thought leaders to help us reimagine American world leadership and secure economic opportunity for future generations,” said Marta Tienda, AAPSS president.
