William Hatungimana serves as an Assistant Professor in the Global Studies department at the Schnitzer School of Global Studies and Languages, University of Oregon, where his work focuses on African political systems, immigration dynamics, and China-Africa relations. His research examines political legitimacy, democratic processes, and public opinion across the African continent through empirical and comparative methodologies.
His scholarly interests center on how political legitimacy is constructed in African contexts, the interplay between immigration policies and social cohesion, and the evolving geopolitical relationship between African nations and China. Recent publications analyze vaccine diplomacy during health crises, military rule dynamics, partisan perceptions of foreign influence, and immigration attitudes using survey data and qualitative analysis from multiple African countries.
Analysis of his 14 publications (2022-2025) reveals consistent thematic focus on contemporary African political challenges, with recurring examination of China's influence, democratic backsliding indicators, and immigration policy formation. His work frequently employs cross-national survey data to investigate public opinion trends, particularly regarding governance evaluations and foreign policy preferences.
