Biography
I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Political Science at 尤物视频. Before joining SFU, I held a Banting Postdoctoral Fellowship at Duke University, a Visiting Democracy Fellowship at the Ash Center, Harvard University, and a SSHRC Postdoctoral Fellowship at the Centre for the Study of Democratic Citizenship, McGill University.
I am interested in the way inequalities shape communication and action, producing unequal political influence between different social group members. Substantively, my research falls into three categories: the study of political communication, deliberation and democratic innovation; gender and politics; and racial, ethnic and settler-colonial politics. I am also increasingly interested in the ways that changing technologies and digital forms of communication are creating new inequalities in communicative influence and what this means for collective decision-making and democratic legitimacy. Methodologically, I am interested in quantitative methods, particularly advances in machine learning, scaling, and dimensional analysis. I am also interested in experimental design. At SFU, my teaching will contribute to both the Department of Political Science and the new minor in Social Data Analytics.
