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.
