My research interests center on electoral institutions, representation, race & gender.
My research interests center on American politics, news media, gender and race. I am particularly interested in interactions between intersectional systems of oppression, political behavior, and political and media representations.
I am interested in right-wing politics with regard to American political development. Particular questions I wish to focus on in my future research include: What does the label “conservative,” a term which is thrown around frequently carrying a number of specific and not always flattering connotations, really mean in current discourse and how has it changed over time? How has the Republican Party, the party of Lincoln, evolved over time to represent such varied, and sometimes competing, interests as the Christian Right, big business, and anti-immigration activists?

His doctoral project, “United Nations of Africa: Theories of Liberation in the Horn,” draws on original archival material in Eritrea, the UK, and the US to explore how activist groups across the Horn of Africa understood their “nationalist” projects as facilitating Pan-African integration and the construction of nonethnic states.
My research interests center on American politics, mental health, race and gender, voting behavior and civic engagement. I am particularly interested in the interactions between mental health, race and gender, and civic engagement.
