I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Political Science at the University of North Texas. I received my Ph.D. from the Department of Government at the University of Texas at Austin, where I was also the manager of the Politics of Race and Ethnicity (PRE) Lab. During the 2019-20 academic year, I was a Fulbright Research Fellow at Comenius University. I received my B.A. in political science from Vassar College.
I work at the intersection of race and ethnic politics, public opinion, and voting behavior. Much of my work focuses on Central and Eastern Europe and investigates the connections between deepening globalization and integration, and nationalist counter-reactions. I research questions related to the effects of European integration (especially when it comes to migration and the rights of ethnic minorities) on public opinion, political party strategies, and vote choice. I am also interested in identity-based prejudice, both its causes and effective ways to reduce it.
My work is forthcoming or appears in the American Political Science Review, East European Politics, Electoral Studies, Political Research Quarterly, and Studies in Comparative International Development, amongst other journals, and has been supported by The Association for Slavic, East European, & Eurasian Studies, the Eastern Focus Fellowship, the National Scholarship Programme of the Slovak Republic, and the U.S. Embassy Small Grants Program.
