Welcome! I am a political scientist and criminologist, and I serve as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Criminal Justice and Criminology in the Andrew Young School of Policy Studies at Georgia State University. I study how interactions with criminal justice institutions affect political participation. I also study the how convictions or criminal records shape socioeconomic outcomes and the consequences of prison conditions for both incarcerated individuals and correctional officers. You can view my CV here.
My research is published or forthcoming in Political Behavior, Public Administration Review, the British Journal of Criminology, Public Opinion Quarterly, Electoral Studies, Punishment & Society, and other outlets. My work has been generously funded by Arnold Ventures, the National Science Foundation, the American Political Science Association, the Roper Center for Public Opinion, and the Population Center at Cornell.
