Kathy Ingram is a lecturer in the Political Science Department at Yale University. She was previously an instructor in the Social Science Division at NYU Abu Dhabi. She received her PhD from the Department of Politics at Princeton University in May 2023.

Ingram studies international security, focusing on the international aspects of civil conflict, with broad interest in the relationships between sponsoring states and proxy rebel groups. A central theme of her work looks at how the alliances and rivalries of state sponsors affects their proxies. Regionally, Ingram focuses on the Middle East and North Africa. Her work relies on formal theory, especially contest and principal-agent models, and qualitative case studies.

Before Princeton, Ingram received a BS in regional and comparative studies (Middle East concentration) from the Walsh School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University.
