Research
My research focuses on the intersection between political communication and new media studies. Most of my projects tackel a question using multiple methods, such as combining surveys digital observations and in-person interviews, as in my dissertation research. Below are selected conference papers and publications in my two key areas of research. My full CV is available in PDF form here: Curriculum Vitae (PDF)
