I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Government at the University of Texas at Austin.
Before my appointment at Texas, I was an Assistant Professor in the Political Science Department at the University of Georgia and a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Center for the Study of Ethnicity, Race, and Immigration at the University of Pennsylvania. I received my Ph.D. from the Department of Political Science at the University of Chicago. I am a scholar of race, ethnicity, and politics, and I am particularly interested in Latinx politics, immigration, political behavior, and socialization. My research agenda focuses on the Latinx immigrant experience broadly. I am currently focusing on how Latinx immigrants and their children incorporate politically and how political institutions and the American public react to their attempts to create a place for themselves in the United States. My work has appeared in the American Political Science Review; Journal of Race, Ethnicity, and Politics; Justice System Journal; Political Research Quarterly; PS: Politics & Science; and The Journal of Legislative Studies. Additionally, I have a forthcoming book with the University of Chicago Press, Information Brokers: Political Socialization in Latinx Immigrant Families, expected to be published in late 2025 or early 2026. |
