Assistant Professor of Government

I'm an expert on discrimination, focusing on measuring it in new contexts and sometimes for understudied identity groups, developing better methodological approaches for measuring discrimination, and finding ways of decreasing it. My interest in discrimination stems in part from my own life experiences, having been raised in a poor, blended, biethnic family, where I saw members of my family experience negative treatment because of their identity. My interest also stems from my earlier work on censorship and human rights. Researching censorship taught me more about what attitudes and actions (such as discrimination) people conceal and why, and researching human rights taught me more about unequal rights provision across identity groups.
