Natalie Hernandez

Welcome! I am a SNF Agora Academy Postdoctoral Fellow at Johns Hopkins University. I received my Ph.D. in Political Science from Yale University in May 2026 with Departmental Distinction.

My research examines questions around representation, public opinion, persuasion, and gender, with a current focus on abortion policy in the post-Roe v. Wade era.

My work has been published in the American Journal of Political Science, Political Behavior, Public Opinion Quarterly and American Politics Research. Prior to attending Yale, I worked at the Boston Consulting Group (BCG) and earned my B.A. in Political Science and Spanish from the University of Pennsylvania.
