Florian Gawehns

I am a Visiting Assistant Professor of Political Science at Trinity College, CT. From Fall 2025 to July 2026 I served as APSA Congressional Fellow in the D.C. office of U.S. Senator Raphael Warnock (Georgia) covering Trade, Defense, and Foreign Policy. In 2025, I served as a Professorial Lecturer at American University in Washington D.C., teaching several classes on U.S. political institutions. 

I research the U.S. Congress, party politics, and foreign policy. My work has been published in The British Journal of Political Science, State Politics & Policy Quarterly, the Washington’s Posts Monkey Cage blog, and the German political science journal Zeitschrift fur Parlamentsfragen. In July 2025, I graduated with my PhD from the University of Maryland, College Park.
