Brief Research Statement
I conduct research in American Politics and Public Policy with particular interests in urban politics/policy, minority and ethnic politics/policy, environmental policy, and policy feedback loops. Although my work focuses on several substantive areas, each of my projects stems from a central motivation: understanding the sources and consequences of inequality in the US political system. I am particularly drawn to applied work and questions that have significant, real-world implications; as such, I have completed research on felon disenfranchisement, same-sex marriage, environmental policy, immigration policy, and municipal responsiveness.
