About MeI am an Assistant Professor of Political Science at the University of Oregon. I specialize in American Politics, with a focus on the U.S. presidency and public opinion. I received a Ph.D., M.A., and A.B. in Political Science from the University of Chicago.
My research has been published in Presidential Studies Quarterly and has been supported by the American Political Science Association, the University of Chicago Council on Advanced Studies, and the Bradley Foundation. In 2018, I was an APSA MFP Fellow. I have provided commentary on national politics in the Chicago Tribune, BBC News, The Associated Press, USA Today, The Conversation, and other outlets. Outside of my work as a researcher, I actively engage in the arts through various mediums. My creative practice includes writing poetry, essays, and fiction, with my work featured in numerous publications. As a passionate artist, I paint, capture photographs, and immerse myself in music. I gravitate toward vibrant, innovative communities that foster creative expression and experimentiation. I am also a committed environmentalist and outdoorsman. I serve on the board of the Sierra Club Many Rivers Group (Eugene). Over the years, I have participated in ultramarathons, marathons, triathlons, and other races across the United States. I am an avid rock climber, mountaineer, trail runner, bike commuter, and backpacker. |
