I’m a professor in NYU’s Wilf Family Department of Politics, with an associated faculty appointment at NYU’s Wagner School of Public Service and an affiliated appointment in NYU’s Department of Sociology. I’m on the faculty steering committee for the Identities & Ideologies Project @ NYU and I’m a faculty affiliate with NYU’s Center for Social Media and Politics.
