ABOUT

I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Political Science &
International Relations and faculty affiliate of the Center for Political
Communication, the Center for the Study of Diversity, and the Program in Latin
American and Iberian Studies at the University of Delaware. I am also a research
consultant for the GenForward Survey, an ongoing nationally representative
survey of young adults in the United States, at the University of Chicago.

My research explores the dynamic relationship between social identity and
systemic inequities in political participation and representaton, with a focus
on race and ethnicity, especially among young adults, in the United States. My
work has been published or is forthcoming in peer-reviewed journals including
Political Research Quarterly, The Journal of Race, Ethnicity, and Politics, and
The Forum: A Journal of Applied Research in Contemporary Politics, as well as
popular outlets like The Washington Post and The Hill.

Prior to joining the University of Delaware, I was a Postdoctoral Scholar at the
University of Chicago. I received my Ph.D. in Politics and Social Policy from
Princeton University and am proud to have been raised as a child of immigrants
in Southern California.

TEACHING


GRADUATE


QUALITATIVE METHODS

SPRING 2021

This course provides an overview of different qualitative and interpretive
techniques for gathering evidence in political science research using both
neo-positivist and post-positivist approaches. After a brief review of research
design issues, specific topics will include techniques for conducting interviews
and recruiting interview participants; research ethics and human subjects (IRB)
rules and approval processes; participant-observation methods; Participatory
Action Research (PAR); the conduct of international field research; use of
archives; the use of secondary sources for process-tracing analysis; genealogy
and discourse analysis; and narrative analysis.


UNDERGRADUATE


PUBLIC OPINION

FALL 2019, SPRING 2021

Do people hold strong opinions on issues? Where do they come from? What role, if
any, do these opinions play in U.S. politics? In this course, we will grapple
with these and other questions as we explore the attitudes and behavior of
people in the United States as well as assess their influence on American
politics and public policy. Throughout the semester, we will examine how public
opinion is formed, measured, communicated, and reflected in politics and policy.
In doing so, we will pay close attention to the structures and institutions
thought to shape public opinion—including the media, political campaigns, and
group identities like partisanship, race, and gender. By the end of the course,
students will not only obtain a greater understanding of the fundamental
relationship between public opinion and American politics, they will also gain
the ability to critically analyze, interpret, and evaluate quantitative survey
data.


LATINX POLITICS

FALL 2020, FALL 2019

The Latinx population in the United States has attracted significant attention
from politicians and pundits alike in recent years. It is estimated that 32
million Latinxs will be eligible to vote by the 2020 presidential election —
making Latinxs the largest share of non-white voters in the United States. But
what do we know about the politics of Latinxs? In this course, we will examine
the history and contemporary role of Latinxs in the American political system
with an emphasis on voting and generational change. In tracing the historical
and political processes of Latinxs in the U.S., we will grapple with questions
of immigration, ethnicity and identity, assimilation and incorporation, and
examine the impact of Latinx voters on campaigns and elections. Although Latinxs
are the primary focus of this course, we will situate Latinxs within the larger
context of racial and ethnic politics in the U.S. and draw comparisons with
their white, Black, and Asian American counterparts throughout the semester.


THE POLITICS OF DIFFERENCE

SPRING 2020

The United States is frequently described as a “melting pot” or “salad bowl” of
people from diverse and varied backgrounds with differing histories,
experiences, and beliefs. As the U.S. continues to diversify, these differences
often conflict and intersect in meaningful ways. In this course, we will tackle
questions about when, why, and to what extent group differences—particularly
along lines of race/ethnicity, class, gender, and sexuality—take on significance
in American politics. In doing so, we will interrogate the historical and
contemporary processes that create difference and differential access to
resources, engage with theories of identity construction and development, and
assess empirical approaches to the study of identity groups in American
politics.
