About me:  I am an associate professor of political science at the University of Oklahoma, where I also serve as a faculty member for Latinx Studies and Women and Gender Studies. I run OU's Community Engagement + Experiments Laboratory (CEEL), Oklahoma City's Election Day Exit Poll, and OU's Democracy Survey of OU freshmen.  My work examines group identity in the context of American political behavior. For fun, I lend my support to organizations seeking to increase civic engagement as well as physical and mental health in local communities around the U.S.. The Ohio State Ph.D. (2012). Union College NY B.A. (2005).  

Personal:  Rutland, Vermont bred. Clarinet trained. Red Sox apologist.
