Omar Wasow is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Political Science at the University of California, Berkeley. His research focuses on American Politics with a particular emphasis on Race and Ethnic Politics, exploring topics such as protest movements, political behavior, and the intersection of race and policy. His work employs innovative methodologies to analyze historical and contemporary social movements, including their impact on public opinion and electoral outcomes.
Key research interests include the effectiveness of protest strategies, the role of racial dynamics in shaping political processes, and the application of quantitative methods to study sociopolitical phenomena. Notably, his studies have examined the influence of 1960s Black protests on policy and public sentiment, as well as modern digital dynamics like the political implications of social media activity.
Wasow's recent work has addressed contemporary issues such as plutopopulism and the electoral strategies of political figures like Donald Trump. His research also delves into methodological challenges in studying 'immutable characteristics' like race, offering frameworks for causal inference in such contexts. He is affiliated with the Social Sciences Building at UC Berkeley and maintains an active presence in academic colloquia and research workshops.
