Assistant Professor of Political Science and International Affairs, University of Mary Washington

I am an assistant professor in the Department of Political Science and International Affairs at the University of Mary Washington, where I teach courses related to American government, political behavior, public policy, and research methodology. I am a co-author of Citizens of the World: Political Engagement and Policy Attitudes of Millennials across the Globe (Oxford University Press, 2022), and author of Feeling their Pain: Why Voters Want Leaders who Care (Oxford University Press, forthcoming). Broadly, my research asks how American voters evaluate politicians and hold them accountable in an environment increasingly characterized by high levels of polarization and strong partisan identities.
