Abigail Ingram was born in Oxford, England and raised in Southern California. She 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 focused 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 also served as a member of Baylor Union Board, and coordinated on-campus events aimed at making the Student Union Building ‘feel like home.’ Abigail was a 2024 Hudson Institute Political Studies Fellow, a research intern at the Cato Institute, and a 2025 Acton Institute Emerging Leader. Her writing has been published in both National Review and Religion and Liberty Online. In her free time, she enjoys baking, crocheting, and listening to 60s/70s music while musing on American political thought.
