Welcome to my website. I am an assistant professor in the Department of Political Science at Stanford University.
My research seeks to explain how policies that change geographic space change American politics, and my broader research interests encompass American political development, public policy, political geography, and political methodology. My book manuscript, The Road to Inequality: How Highways Created Suburbs, Disadvantaged Cities, and Polarized America, uses a range of new data sources constructed from public archives and databases to examine how the largest public works project in U.S. history created Republican suburbs, increased the urban-suburban political divide, and worsened spatial inequality in the nation's metro areas.
