About Me

I am an Assistant Professor of Political Studies at Queen’s University where I am also a Fellow at the Centre for the Study of Democracy and Diversity. Broadly speaking, my research and teaching focus on LGBTQ2S+ politics, gender and politics, and Canadian politics, often in dialogue with American and comparative work. I am methodologically pluralist, drawing on a wide range of qualitative and quantitative materials and approaches—including interviews, archival research, participant observation, public opinion data, roll call voting data, original dataset creation, and survey experiments.

Before joining the faculty at Queen’s, I earned my PhD in Politics from Princeton University, along with a Certificate in Gender and Sexuality Studies. I then held postdoctoral positions in the Department of Political Science at the University of Toronto.
