My research is rooted in the domain of political psychology, with a particular interest in topics related to higher education. This has included studies on minority influence, political bias, viewpoint/ideological diversity in higher education, scientific integrity, and political partisanship. Current/recent projects have explored manifestations of political bias in higher education, group dynamics involving numerical minorities, political diversity and the political climate among university faculty and students, national trends related to political polarization, speech and self-censorship dynamics among university faculty, and replication of other scientific work.
Across my research and teaching I am data-driven and take an intellectually curious approach to understanding topics being investigated and taught. I've led and contributed to research projects at all stages, with close attention to detail. This has included brainstorming and design, survey creation, survey methodology, data collection, data analysis, data visualization, and writing up and presenting findings (for/to lay and academic audiences).
