My research centers on American politics, with emphases in political psychology, racial and ethnic politics, and political behavior. I am especially interested in how emotion influences our thinking and behavior regarding politics. I am similarly interested in the role that group-based social identities play in determining political preferences and consequent behavior. For information regarding my current projects, please visit my personal website.

He resigned from his government job and moved to Charlottesville in 1982 to pursue his Ph.D. in our department under the mentorship of Henry Abraham, James Ceaser, and David O’Brien. He subsequently taught undergraduate courses in American government and constitutional law and history for twenty-two years, one at Tulane University and twenty-one at the University of Arizona.
