I teach American politics and methodology at Georgia State University, where I serve as Director of Graduate Studies for the Department of Political Science. My teaching specializes in political communication, political behavior, public opinion, and quantitative methodology. I emphasize rigorous empirical methods and the application of cutting-edge research to understanding contemporary political challenges.
Before joining Georgia State in 2007, I taught at Pace University as an Assistant Professor and worked as an adjunct lecturer at nearly a dozen colleges in New York, New Jersey, and Tokyo during graduate school.
