Welcome to DPERL!
The Dionne Publicly Engaged Research Lab (DPERL) is a political science research laboratory at the University of California Riverside.
Under Professor Kim Yi Dionne's mentorship, both graduate and undergraduate students have engaged in research studying questions about vaccine hesitancy and COVID-19, vaccine promoters, disease exposure, and diplomacy in African countries such as Malawi, Ghana, and South Africa.
The Team
Our current team is composed of 9 undergraduate students (Allison Wang, Chukwufunanya Ikechukwu, Debhani Rosas, Harry Stoltz, Hayley Brown, Idalee Michel, Jasmine Esmail, Naia Pizarro, and Sashi Juarez-Galindo), and 8 graduate students (Eun-A Park, Devyn Escalanti, Fulya Felicity Turkmen, John Burnett, Minhye Joo, Owura Kuffuor, Satoru Hiramatsu, and Takondwa Priscilla).
