I often use natural language processing to process media and social media content, and survey experiments to understand the mechanisms behind public opinion formation.

Right now, I am working on papers about global levels of public concern about climate change; the public opinion effects of disruptive climate protests; the political and non-political identities in people’s Twitter bios; and how to change majorities’ perceptions of ethnic discrimination.
