Hi everyone — it’s great to e-meet you!

I'm Jongwoo Jeong, an Assistant Professor of Political Science at Georgia State University.

I earned my Ph.D. from Texas A&M University in 2022 and completed a two-year postdoctoral fellowship at Washington University in St. Louis. My research explores how polarization and immigration shape American political life, particularly how they influence pathways to political incorporation and representation. While rooted in political behavior, my work also brings in perspectives from institutional analysis, public administration, and methodological innovation—including text-as-data, experimental design, and causal inference—to better understand how democracy in the U.S. is both evolving and enduring across these interconnected areas.

My work has been published or is forthcoming in journals such as American Journal of Political Science, Journal of Politics, British Journal of Political Science, and Political Behavior, as well as in outlets focused on race and ethnicity like Politics, Groups, and Identities. I've been fortunate to receive support from the APSA Centennial Center and the APSA Advancing Research Grant for Early Career Scholars. For more details, you can view my CV here.

I’m always excited to connect, collaborate, and learn from others—so feel free to reach out!
