My research examines the intersection of religion, politics, and social movements. In various research assistantships, I have drawn on population-level data and survey data to analyze a host of phenomena including political partisanship, religious affiliation, and racial identification. While I use primarily qualitative data in my dissertation project on partisanship and racial identification in Twin Cities congregations, I plan to use quantitative, population-level data in follow-up research.
