I am an Associate Professor of Sociology and Politics at New York University and a Faculty Affiliate at NYU’s Center for Data Science. Relying on survey methods, computational text analysis, and experimental research, my work applies insights from cultural sociology to the study of politics in the United States and Europe, with a particular focus on nationalism, populism, anti-immigrant attitudes, and the rise of the radical right. More recently, I have been exploring a range of topics related to how concerns over AI-related job displacement affect political attitudes and policy preferences across a wide range of countries. Finally, I regularly teach and write about computational social science methods. My most notable scholarly articles on these topics have appeared in the American Journal of Sociology, American Sociological Review, Annual Review of Sociology, Social Forces, Sociological Methods and Research, Socio-Economic Review, Sociological Forum, British Journal of Sociology, Nations and Nationalism, American Political Science Review, American Journal of Political Science, Comparative Political Studies, Political Behavior, and West European Politics.
In addition to my research and teaching, I serve as a Deputy Editor of Sociological Science and Editorial Team member of Nations and Nationalism. I was previously on the editorial boards of the American Sociological Review and Social Science Research and served as a Consulting Editor at the American Journal of Sociology. I am also a member of Council for the Political Sociology Section of the American Sociological Association and a member of the ASA’s Publications Committee. At NYU, I co-organize the Political Polarization and Radicalization Working Group at the Institute for Public Knowledge and frequently participate in the Identities & Ideologies Project and the Sociology of Culture Workshop. Since 2023, I have been a fellow of the Boundaries, Membership, and Belonging Program of the Canadian Institute for Advanced Research.
