Research Description

---

My research focuses on the intersection of elections, voters, and political parties. I examine how political and social context changes the way people make political decisions. Primarily using surveys, my scholarly work looks at how different types of citizens are influenced by different institutional, social network, party, and candidate characteristics. While I have studied countries across the globe, I am particularly interested in multiparty European elections- when faced with a wide menu of choices, how do citizens decide?
