Assistant Professor of Political Science Guillermo Caballero is a faculty affiliate in the Center for the Study of Race, Ethnicity, and Social Justice at Stonehill College, as well as a critical scholar, educator, and Boston-based spoken word artist.

His areas of specialization encompass American politics, focusing on Black political representation, public policy, and identity politics, particularly social movements. His unique approach involves examining the relationship between power and resistance by centering the lived experiences of Black women lawmakers in the legislature within the interpretive paradigm. This approach allows him to delve into the concepts of power, resistance, institutions, and informal norms in the legislative context.

As an educator, he believes in assisting students in developing their critical frameworks, allowing them to interpret the political world. He helps students build their critical frameworks through concepts of social construction and critical reflexivity.
