I am a Visiting Assistant Professor of Government at College of William & Mary. I am also Associate Director of the Social Networks and Political Psychology (SNaPP) Lab under PI Dr. Jaime Settle. Previously I was a Postdoctoral Scholar of Race and Ethnic Politics at Texas Tech University.
I earned my PhD in Political Science with focuses in American politics, quantitative methods, and social media analysis at Indiana University Bloomington. I research digital far-right movements, political identity and behavior on social media, and the effects of deplatforming. Sometimes I write about artificial intelligence, too, and I am a member of the AI Crisis Working Group in the Luddy School of Informatics at Indiana University.
My dissertation, “Hate and Political Identity Online,” which examines alt-right social media communities, was completed under the supervision of my dissertation chair, Dr. Edward Carmines, and committee members Drs. Bernard Fraga, Christopher DeSante, and Mary Murphy.
