My Research:

I specialize in what leads individuals to seek out counter-attitudinal information -- both from media and interpersonal sources -- and then what happens when individuals encounter that information. I generally focus on how political communication can be harnessed for pro-democratic outcomes. I am a quantitative scholar specializing in both survey and experimental methods, and am experienced in a variety of GLM-based analysis techniques.
