Peopling Politics is an interdisciplinary network that connects sociologists, political scientists, and practitioners who study U.S. politics with a focus on race, class, inequality, and the social and cultural forces that shape political life. We convene scholars and practitioners who put people first-taking a relational, dynamic, and people-centered approach to the study of U.S. politics. By peopling politics, we strengthen the validity and rigor of our research while expanding pathways for public understanding, accessibility, and policy engagement.

Throughout the year, we curate programming that fosters collaboration, shares research, and highlights leading scholars and practitioners working at the forefront of U.S. politics.
