About
My name is Guan Wang. I am an Assistant Professor of Political Science at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC). I am also an affiliated faculty member in the Asian Studies Program. I received my PhD in Political Science from the University of Maryland, College Park in 2024. My areas of focus are International Relations and American Politics. I study U.S. foreign policy, U.S. Congress, and U.S.-China relations. I am also interested in research methods in social sciences, especially the graphical models for causal inference. My work has been published in the International Studies Quarterly, Foreign Policy Analysis, Journal of East Asian Studies, and The China Quarterly. Prior to PhD, I worked as an Assistant Research Fellow at the National Institute for South China Sea Studies (NISCSS) in Hainan, China.
