Welcome! I’m Hannah Kim, a political scientist specializing in American politics, political psychology, and quantitative methodologies. I earned my Ph.D. in Political Science from the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities in August 2024, where my dissertation explored affective polarization and the dynamics of political engagement. My research, published in journals such as The Journal of Elections, Public Opinion, and Parties, examines how elite polarization shapes citizens' political attitudes, as well as how threat sensitivity and issue concern influence candidate preferences.

Beyond academia, I have experience managing international development projects and supporting digital economy initiatives for ASEAN women’s MSMEs. My publications, teaching, and presentations at major political science conferences reflect my ongoing commitment to advancing research in political psychology, particularly around issues of polarization and public opinion.
