Current Research
As a racial and ethnic politics scholar, my research and teaching explore the political psychology and political behavior of racial and ethnic minorities at the intersection of race, economic inequality, and gender. My scholarship explores the many ways in which intergenerational poverty, resilience, and intersectionality are influential and have behavioral consequences in American politics and life.
