Welcome to my website. This page is a central online source for all my various writings and projects.
Who am I? My name is Hovannes Abramyan. In the fall I'll be a graduate student in political science at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). I am currently a policy fellow in business and economic studies at the Pacific Research Institute for Public Policy in San Francisco, CA.
I received my B.A. in political science from the University of California, Berkeley in 2005. At UC Berkeley, I focused my studies on immigrant assimilation in the United States by primarily hispanic immigrants.
After studying at UC Berkeley, I began working for the Pacific Research Institute (PRI) in San Francisco. At PRI, my primary emphasis was in civil justice reform. I co-authored two studies, The U.S. Tort Liability Index: 2006 Report and Jackpot Justice: The True Cost of America's Tort System, and a number of op-eds on this topic. I also dabbled into other areas, including: economic freedom, affordable housing, and government-mandated employer-provided benefits.
My interests include examining the formation of identities and their impact on societies.

Also, make sure to learn more about presidential hopeful Congressman Ron Paul. I am backing Congressman Paul in the Republican primary and will be voting for him in the general election regardless of whether he wins the party nomination. |
