I am a Lecturer in the Committee on Degrees in Social Studies at
Harvard University. I specialize in American politics and political theory, with a focus on theoretical questions of relevance for the empirical study of public opinion. I am particularly interested in questions related to conspiracy theories, misinformation, and the institutional underpinnings of political knowledge systems. At Harvard, I teach courses on democratic theory, political epistemology and the foundations of social theory.
My research has been supported by the Center for Effective Government at the Harris School as well as APSA's Ideas, Knowledge and Politics Organized Section.
Prior to starting my PhD, I earned an MA in the Committee on International Relations at the University of Chicago, where I held a fellowship in my second year, and a BA in International Relations from the Elliott School of International Affairs at the George Washington University.
