Research

My research is typically in the areas of American Political Behavior and American Institutions, with particular focus on voter behavior, elections and election administration, and political parties. I am particularly interested by questions about how and when political parties and elections fail at being mechanisms for representation, and how the public reacts to those failures. My other interests include political behavior (including socialization), election administration, and polarization. I am also working with a student group at the University of Michigan to increase voter registration and turnout among eligible University of Michigan students.
