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 study identity politics and voting behavior in Central and Eastern Europe. I am particularly interested in the links between the deepening of the liberal international order (particularly in the form of European integration) and nationalist counter-reactions. Thus, much of my work investigates how liberal, permissive policies in identity-politics-related areas shape public opinion, political party strategies, and voting behavior in Central and Eastern Europe. Relatedly, 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.
