Rachel J. Schoner, Ph.D.

I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Political Science at Tulane University. My research focuses on international organizations and human rights. I study non-state actor access in international institutions and explore how victims of human rights abuse participate in global politics.  My work has been published, or is forthcoming at, International Studies Quarterly and Review of International Organizations.

Previously, I was a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the Niehaus Center for Globalization and Governance at Princeton University. I hold a Ph.D. in Political Science from the University of California, San Diego in 2022. Originally from Virginia, I am a proud alumna of Emory University, where I jointly received my BA in Mathematics and Political Science and MA in Political Science in 2015.
