My research explores the intersections of democratic theory and social epistemology, with a focus on how racial, political, and economic inequality affect what citizens learn about politics. You can find my writing published or forthcoming in places like the American Political Science Review, the American Journal of Political Science, and Political Science Quarterly. I’m currently working on a book about why social equality is necessary for a healthy public sphere.

I teach courses on political theory, democracy, and American and African American political thought. Alongside my work with undergraduates, I collaborate with several organizations on revitalizing K-12 civics and social studies education.

I completed my PhD at Harvard in 2022. Before that, I earned a B.A. in Social Studies from Wesleyan University and was a beat reporter in southwestern Connecticut.
