Research

My research is primarily in democratic theory. I am interested in the ways we evaluate democracies and particular practices or institutions within them (e.g., partisanship, representation, administrative agencies, and civic education). I am especially interested in evaluation under non-ideal conditions and I've found that theorization guided by empirical research from the social sciences is a useful way to do so. As a result, I am a big proponent of interdisciplinary engagement!

​

My book, Boxed In: Making Identities Safe for Democracy, which is co-authored with Derrick Darby, was just published by Oxford University Press.​

You can also order it via Amazon and Barnes & Noble.

I have papers currently under review or in progress on:

  • Representation and the notion of responsiveness

  • Polarization and epistemic rationality

  • Partisanship and political parties
