About

Welcome!

My name is Gabriel Foy-Sutherland. I’m an incoming Assistant Professor in the Department of Government at Hamilton College. I completed my Ph.D. in Political Science at the University of Chicago in July 2025. My research centers on political parties, interest groups, and elections. From September 2025-August 2026, I will serve as an APSA Congressional Fellow (office t.b.d.).

My research has been published in The Journal of Politics, American Politics Research, and Election Law Journal, and covered by The Guardian, Politico, and Business Insider. This work has also won awards at the APSA (best paper on political organizations and parties), MPSA (best paper on Congress and the presidency), and SPSA (best overall paper) annual conferences.

Prior to beginning my Ph.D., I received an M.Sc. in International Relations from the London School of Economics and a BA in Politics, Philosophy, and Economics from the University of Manchester. I have also worked in a variety of political communications and public relations roles in London, UK.
