In
May 2009, I defended
my dissertation Get Out on Behalf of Your
Group: Political Participation of Latinos and Asian Americans in American
Politics. My dissertation inquires how different features of racial
contexts interact in influencing the way Latinos and Asian Americans are
engaged in different types of political activities. My research interests include
American politics, political behavior, public opinion, and quantitative
research methods. For the academic year of 2009-2010, I will be a full-time
lecturer at School of International and Public Affairs, Columbia University.
