Bio: 

I am an associate professor and director of graduate studies in the Department of Political Science at Washington University in St. Louis and a research fellow at the Weidenbaum Center on the Economy, Government, and Public Policy. I have held research fellowships at the Hoover Institution at Stanford and at the Center for the Study of American Politics within the Institution for Social and Policy Studies at Yale University.

I study elections, public opinion, and the presidency. My research examines the interchange between institutions and behavior with a focus on political accountability in the United States. My work has appeared in the American Political Science Review, the American Journal of Political Science, and the Journal of Politics, among other outlets. I received my Ph.D. from the Department of Government at Harvard where I was an associate of the Institute for Quantitative Social Science.

“There are few places like CSAP in terms of such a fostering academic community. It’s the type of place where hallway conversations turn into research papers and lunch time banter begets new research agendas. My work was vastly improved through both formal and informal interactions within CSAP. Formally, I presented my research at the lunch time seminar and had the benefit of extremely thoughtful critiques. But the informal interactions were probably most important. Numerous casual conversations enhanced the way I thought about my research both substantively as well as methodologically.  And the staff are the best in the business.”
