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 how schools, families, civic experiences, public policies, political events, and administrative systems shape who participates, who is heard, and who is treated fairly by public and private institutions.
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.Research Visualized
A visual guide to the research portfolio.
A visual summary of the research portfolio: where the work has been, where it is heading, and how the papers connect.
Scholarly Identity
I study who participates, who is treated fairly, and what evidence would tell us.
The portfolio starts from democratic participation and grows into a broader account of democratic inclusion: civic skills, turnout, institutional accountability, discrimination, education, health, and the measurement problems that tie them together. In the full-text network, the work forms two connected lobes: democratic participation on one side and discrimination/field-audit work on the other, bridged by methods and measurement.
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, policy, education, sociology, economics, and science.
