Participation
Research Agenda
I study participation, fair treatment, and credible measurement.
My research examines democratic participation, institutional inequality, and the methods we use to study both. I ask who gets to participate — and who gets excluded — and whether the institutions citizens encounter treat them equally.
Inequality
Discrimination & Institutions
How race, ethnicity, class, names, perceived foreignness, and institutional gatekeeping shape unequal treatment.Evidence
Applied Methods
Field experiments, survey experiments, administrative data, text analysis, and quasi-experimental designs for public-facing questions.Access
Education, Health & Public Life
The institutional settings where democratic inclusion becomes concrete: schools, health care, public services, and public administration.

Scholarly Identity
I study who participates, who is treated fairly, and what evidence would tell us.
The portfolio began with democratic participation and has since widened into a fuller account of democratic inclusion — civic skills, turnout, institutional accountability, discrimination, education, health, and the measurement problems connecting all of them. In the full-text network, the work clusters into two lobes: democratic participation on one side, discrimination and field-audit work on the other. Methods papers run through both.

Where The Work Is Heading
I track where the published record is headed.
Compare the published record with the active pipeline, or switch to a decade view to see how the agenda has widened from voting and civic participation into discrimination, methods, and institutional treatment.
Methods Toolkit
I use the tools that fit the question.
Disciplinary Reach
I work across political science, public policy, education, sociology, and economics.
