Hi and welcome to my site,
I am a PhD candidate in political science at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver studying media and politics in the American and comparative contexts. Starting this summer, I will be the Martin Fishbein Postdoctoral Fellow in the Annenberg Center for Advanced Study in Communication (ACASC) at the Annenberg Public Policy Center at the University of Pennsylvania.

In the News:
- Part of my dissertation research deals with the polarization of climate change attitudes and the role of the media in the process, on which I have been working on with Eric Merkley. Here is a short article we published on The Conversation, which was republished in Newsweek, Real Clear Science, Salon, and The National Post.
- My latest research appeared in the Monkey Cage over at the Washington Post, dealing with the difficulty people have in distinguishing real from fake news. Check it out here. I also wrote it up for The Conversation, highlighting the implications for Canada. It has been recently republished in University Affairs and J Source.

I've also commented on the Polish American vote in this election for Gazeta Wyborcza in Poland.
