Biography

My academic and personal interests lie at the intersection of race and ethnic politics and psychology. I’m especially fascinated by the formation of political attitudes, voting patterns, misrepresentation, and trust in government among members of traditionally underrepresented racial groups, especially as it relates to public policy issues such as social and economic inequality, immigration, and education.
