Welcome! 

I'm Angelo Dagonel, a sixth year PhD candidate in the Department of Government at Harvard University.  I am currently on the academic job market.

My research focuses on how American political institutions target and implement policies toward different groups.  My dissertation examines the bureaucratic agencies overseeing immigration policy, and asks why different political actors prioritize between contrasting responsibilities of enforcement and service.

Previously, I was a pre-doctoral fellow at the Election Law Clinic at Harvard Law School.  Prior to graduate school, I worked for the Stanford-MIT Healthy Elections Project, the Harvard Digital Lab for the Social Sciences, and was a post-baccalaureate fellow in the Harvard Research Scholar Initiative. 

In 2018, I graduated from University of California, Berkeley with a BA in Political Science, after transferring from Pasadena City College.

When not hunched over my PC, I enjoy: record collecting, film screenings, and photography.
