Biography
My research interests broadly entail political communication, political psychology, political behavior, public opinion, social movements, and contentious politics. More specifically, I am interested in using experiments and computational machine learning methods to study how different forms of media influence opinion formation and prejudice reduction. My other research interests include understanding how ideology shapes news coverage of protests.
