Hi! Welcome to my website.  I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Politics at Princeton University.  My research interests include public opinion, racial attitudes and voting behavior.

I am currently working on my book project, which is tentatively titled, “Race-ing for Votes: How Candidates Use Racial Appeals to Win Elections in Majority White Jurisdictions.”  I am a recipient of a National Science Foundation’s Time-Sharing in Experimental Social Sciences Research Grant, as well as a grant from the Center for the Study of Public Policy in Diverse Societies.  My dissertation, “The Effectiveness of Implicit and Explicit Racial Appeals in a ‘Post-racial’ America”” was awarded the 2014 Best Dissertation Award in Race and Ethnic Politics from the American Political Science Association.

On this page, you will find my CV; information about my research; syllabi and other information on the courses that I teach.  You can sign up for office hours here.
