Abigail Ingram is a recent graduate of Baylor University where she studied Political Science and History. Her interest in the role of soft power in diplomatic strategy served as the foundation for her undergraduate Honors thesis–one that focuses on the use of American gastronomy in public diplomacy. While at Baylor, she served on the Leadership and University Initiatives committee as a Provost Scholar. After participating in the Baylor in Oxford program, she became a Study Abroad Student Leader and worked to familiarize prospective students with the cultural customs of their host countries. Abigail was a Hudson Institute Political Studies Fellow during the summer of 2024 and a research intern at the Cato Institute during the spring of 2025. She looks forward to participating in Acton Institute’s Emerging Leaders Program before attending graduate school in the fall.
