I am an applied microeconomist with research interests in political economy, economic history, and public economics (crime). My work examines how racial issues have shaped political and public institutions in the United States.
I am excited to share that I will be joining Charles University in Prague as an Assistant Professor beginning in Fall 2025. I am no longer on the job market — please see my Charles University webpage for all future updates.
