About Me
I am an Associate Professor of Political Science at Kalamazoo College. I study American politics, race and ethnicity, social identity, political behavior, and public opinion. I am currently working on a book that applies a comparative-analytical approach to investigate the contours and implications of White identity in American politics. I have work published in Politics, Groups, and Identities, Citizenship Studies, and The Oxford Handbook on Polling and Polling Methods.
In addition to the introductory course in U.S. politics, I teach courses on political behavior, race and ethnicity, campaigns and elections, public opinion, political institutions, methods, and law and society.
