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.
My research lies at the intersections of public opinion, electoral behavior, and race and ethnic politics. I study how international integration, globalization, and disinformation shape individual attitudes and voting decisions, with a specific focus on how these forces motivate support for nationalist, radical-right parties. My work focuses on Central and Eastern Europe (CEE), both as a region within the European Union (EU) and as target of Russian influence. I am also interested in identity-based prejudice, both its causes and effective ways to reduce it.
My work appears in the American Political Science Review, East European Politics, Electoral Studies, European Union Politics, and Political Research Quarterly, 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.
