My research focuses on political parties, ethnic politics, democratization, political behavior, and political violence. My dissertation develops a new measure of party ethnicization and examines how ethnic patterns of party support shape elections, representation, and governance.
I also study affective polarization, public goods, political violence, and public opinion. My current projects include research on party ethnicization in Africa, Kurdish armed groups in Iran, and immigration attitudes in Japan.
My work uses quantitative methods, survey research, cross-national data, and original data construction.
