I am a political scientist in the Politics Department at the University of Virginia. I study American politics—with focus on public opinion, political psychology, and gender, race & politics— and methodology—with focus on statistical analysis, research design, and experimental methods.
I joined the department at UVa in the Fall of 2006; prior to that I've done a number of things in politics and policy. I held a tenure track position in the Government Department at Cornell for three years; worked as a policy researcher in Washington at Policy Studies Associates in Washington, DC. Before graduate school, I worked as a political campaign consultant, also in Washington.
