My research explores the intersections of democratic theory and social epistemology, with a focus on how inequality affects what citizens learn about politics. You can find my writing in places like the American Political Science Review, the American Journal of Political Science, and the Journal of Politics. I’m currently working on a book about why social equality is necessary for democratic knowledge.

I teach courses on political theory, the value of 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.

Before completing my PhD at Harvard in 2022, I was a beat reporter in southwestern Connecticut.
