About

Adriano Udani is an associate professor and director of public policy administration. He specializes in the study of political attitudes toward immigrant groups and policy decisions that affect immigrant treatment in the United States. Along with David Kimball, Adriano is the principal investigator of a national study that explains why immigrant resentment influences perceptions of voter fraud in U.S. elections. He is conducting another national study that explores how citizens determine how much punishment or leniency immigrants deserve in the United States. Adriano also investigates how federal admissions of temporary immigrant labor influence state and local employment restrictions. At UMSL, Adriano teaches undergraduate and graduate courses on the policy research methods; the politics of public policy; inequality; the politics of prejudice and social justice; and public management.
