I am an Assistant Professor of Political Science at the United States Naval Academy, where I teach courses on American government, U.S media, and race and politics.
My research examines media depictions of drug use/addiction as well as the conditions under which individuals use their personal experiences to reason politically. I also conduct research on teaching and pedagogy—particularly, how issues of identity and difference affect teaching and learning in the university classroom.
Prior to joining the USNA faculty, I was a Vice Provost Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Political Science at the University of Pennsylvania. I still serve as a fellow with the Penn Program on Public Opinion Research and Election Studies.
I received a Ph.D. in Political Science from Vanderbilt University. I also received a M.A. in Political Science from Brown University and a B.A. in Government from Smith College.
