I am Associate Professor in the Department of Political Science at the University of California, San Diego. I use quantitative methods to study how countries manage new and existing forms of diversity. I have applied this question to the study of immigrant exclusion and ethnic politics in urban West Africa, France, and the United States. My current research investigates the conditions that reduce out-group discrimination, and the strategies vulnerable minorities employ to navigate discriminatory environments. My work is funded by the National Science Foundation, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the Hellman Foundation, and the Evidence in Governance and Politics Group.

I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Political Science at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and am Glenn B. & Cleone Orr Hawkins Chair of Political Science. I research the factors that motivate or mitigate conflict between groups, with an eye towards investigating migrant inclusionary politics. I also design statistical tools for prediction and measurement for applied social science data. My research has led me to work with and construct tools for observational, text, experimental and network data. I received my Ph.D in Political Science from the University of California, San Diego, my M.A. in Politics from New York University, and my B.A. in Economics and Political Science from Columbia University.

I am an Assistant Professor of Political Science at New York University Abu Dhabi. I study the politics of development, organized around three themes: 1) culture and development, 2) information, accountability, and service delivery, and 3) migration. My book project, Culture and the Persistence of Inequality, presents the colonial roots of educational inequality across religious groups in Africa, and the cultural factors that have allowed inequality to persist. I employ a variety of methods, ranging from field experiments to ethnography. I received a PhD in political science from Stanford University in 2016, and a BA in Human Biology from Stanford University in 2007 (go Card!).

I am an assistant professor in the Department of Social and Political Sciences at Bocconi University. I completed my PhD in political science at Stanford University in 2020. My primary research agenda explores the factors that sustain authoritarian rule, particularly in the Middle East. I am especially interested in how institutions stabilize autocracies by shaping public opinion toward accountability and democracy. My book project argues that autocratic monarchs have been surprisingly durable in the modern world because they are well-positioned to avoid blame by delegating to their cabinets and legislatures.
