Jane (Mango) Angar

I am a PhD candidate in the Political Science Department at the University of California, Berkeley. My research explores the intersections of Disability Politics and Political Violence, with a focus on how state institutions, society, and Disabled Persons Organizations conceptualize and define disability. I also examine the emergence and effectiveness of disability rights movements across different contexts particularly in the Global South.

In addition to my research, I am committed to making computational social science and academic research more accessible to all, advocating for inclusivity in both methodology and knowledge sharing.
