Eulau Award for the best article published in the APSR, and the 2022 Mary Parker Follett award for the best article on politics and history.

My research is multi-method and combines statistical analysis, archival research, GIS, text analysis, machine learning, survey experiments, and lab-in-the-field approaches.
