I am a doctoral candidate in Political Science at the University of Chicago studying American politics and a 2020-2021 Urban Doctoral Fellow. My research interests broadly include public opinion, political behavior, and the role of political and social identities in shaping politics. My research has been published in Social Science Quarterly and featured in the Washington Post, MinnPost, and Reframing Russia.
My dissertation project explores how different types of white identification shape attitudes about racial politics in the United States, especially around Black Lives Matter and the 2020 uprising. The dissertation project utilizes 61 in-depth semi-structured interviews conducted during two periods in 2020 around a case study of the Minneapolis-St. Paul Metropolitan area. This qualitative work motivates a series of survey experiments that produce a measurement strategy for the types of white identification and test how these types shape perceptions of the protests and grievences around Black Lives Matter, and attitudes about politics and policies concerned with minority rights. I hold an MA in Political Science from the University of Chicago and a BA in Political Science and English, summa cum laude, from the University of Minnesota. (Go Gophers!) |
