Prior to NYU, she was a postdoctoral fellow at the Polarization and Social Change Lab at Stanford University. She earned her PhD in Social Psychology from the University of Texas at Austin.
Her research investigates how identities shape and are shaped by political behaviors, including deliberation, intergroup attitudes, and minority treatment. She employs both traditional social psychology methods (surveys, experiments) and computational techniques (language/network analysis) to study these dynamics in digital and natural settings. Current research emphasizes technologically-mediated environments and political processes.
