Welcome. I am a Postdoctoral Researcher (Instructor) at the University of Chicago's Harris School of Public Policy.
I will join the Department of Political Science at the University
of Rochester as an Assistant Professor in the Fall of 2023. I received a Ph.D. in
Political Science from New York University, where I served as a research associate at NYU's Public Safety Lab and
a graduate affiliate of the Identities & Ideologies Project.
Before graduate school, I received a BA in Economics from NYU Abu Dhabi and conducted
research in the Politics department there.
My research interests lie in American Politics, Political Economy, and Criminal Justice Politics. I study how political institutions
shape racial inequities in the administration of criminal justice and electoral representation, with two overarching goals:
-
offering a theoretically rigorous, empirically grounded account of disparities in
criminal justice and
-
evaluating the quality, and tracing the consequences, of racial fairness in electoral representation.
My work has been published or is forthcoming
at the
Journal of Politics, the
Journal of Legal Studies ,
Political Analysis, and other journals.
