About Me
Hello! I am a Chancellor’s Fellow and Dean’s Professor of Political Science at the University of California, Irvine, where I also serve as department chair. My research examines citizenship, political identity, and immigrant-native conflict. I am the author of Citizenship in Hard Times: How Ordinary People Respond to Democratic Threat (Cambridge University Press, 2022), co-author of Pandemic Politics: The Deadly Toll of Partisanship in the Age of COVID (Princeton University Press, 2022), and Immigration and Membership Politics in Western Europe (Cambridge University Press, 2014). My work has also appeared in the American Political Science Review, Journal of Politics, World Politics, Comparative Political Studies, International Organization, and other journals. You can read my CV for more.
My current research is supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF), and previous work by the NSF, Russell Sage Foundation, and the Hellman Fellows Fund. My work has been recognized with several awards from sections of the American Political Science Association (APSA) and featured in major news outlets, including The New York Times, Washington Post, BBC, and NPR.
I also contribute extensive service to the discipline and currently serve as Treasurer of the APSA. I am also the co-founder and co-editor of the Oxford University Press book series, Oxford Studies in Migration and Citizenship.
I am a Senior Research Associate at the GLOBAL Citizenship Observatory (GLOBALCIT), located at the Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies, European University Institute, and a research affiliate at the UC Institute on Global Conflict and Cooperation (ICGG).
