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. This Fall, I am on the academic job market. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you're interested.

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.

I also wrote it up for The Conversation, highlighting the implications for Canada. It has been recently republished in University Affairs.

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