Richard Hanania (born August 28, 1985) is an American political scientist, writer, and right-wing online personality. He is the founder and president of the think tank Center for the Study of Partisanship and Ideology (CSPI). He is the author of The Origins of Woke and Kakistocracy. Between 2008 and the early 2010s, Hanania wrote under a pseudonym for alt-right and white supremacist publications. He acknowledged these writings when they were first reported in 2023 and has since renounced them. Hanania was a contributor to Project 2025 regarding diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) practices. His advocacy against DEI has influenced Republican and conservative policy-makers in the United States, with Vox calling him "the man whose tweets helped kill DEI". He has since become critical of the second Trump administration, the MAGA movement, and far-right factions within contemporary conservatism.
