Research interests

  • AUTHORITARIAN LEGACIES and democratic transitioning: The legacy of authoritarian regimes on democratic attitudes. 

  • POLITICAL SOCIALIZATIONThe origins of political attitudes: Socialization, age, and generations.

  • DYNAMICS OF ATTITUDESStability and dynamics of political attitudes using household panel studies.
