Welcome! Naomi Nubin-Sellers is a PhD Candidate in the Department of Political Science. Her broad research largely centers on how state institutions react to racial diversity through policy-making. She specifically investigates the impact of racial diversity on policy outcomes and analyze the effects of policy and political feedback that arise from these intricate interactions.
