I am a Ph.D. student of Sociology at Duke University.

The main goal of my research is to examine the nature and origins of political beliefs and preferences—how they form, how they cohere, and how we can study them.

I explore these issues in the context of socialization and the life-course, with a focus on the structure and diffusion of political culture.

I also do a lot of methodological work to evalute change in longitudinal data.
