Nathan Englehart (he/him/his) is a second year PhD student and Richard J. Walter PhD scholar at Washington University in St. Louis. Nathan’s current research focuses on gender and politics (with a focus on men and masculinity), and quantitative political methodology (computational social science, causal inference, and experiments). Prior to pursuing his PhD, Nathan graduated from Oberlin College, where he was awarded the Robert Geitz Phi Beta Kappa and Norman J. Goldring Prizes. He subsequently worked as a financial engineer on the modeling and analytics team at the Oakleaf Group. Nathan is an editorial assistant at Political Analysis and an active member of Washington University’s Political Data Science Lab, American Politics Workshop, and Politics of Marginalized Groups Workshop. He has presented his work at MPSA annual meetings, the 20th Anniversary of Politics and Gender conference (PAG), and the 2nd Mid-American Conference for Race, Gender, Immigration and Ethnicity Politics (MARGIE). In the latter, he was awarded best graduate student poster. After graduating from Washington University, Nathan plans to pursue a career in academia, where he hopes to continue working at the intersection of gender and politics and political methodology.
The APSA Diversity Fellowship Program, formerly the Minority Fellowship Program, was established in 1969 as a fellowship competition to diversify the political science profession. The DFP provides support to students applying to, or in the early stages of, a PhD program in political science. APSA has once again awarded a new cycle to provide support for students currently in their first or second year as of Spring 2026. Please join us in congratulating the 2026-2027 class of fellows.
