Research Interest Statement:
I'm currently working on a few different research projects. The first project, developed from my dissertation, examines how people's decisions to participate in political activities are influenced by their social contacts. I am also working on a project that investigates how diversity and inequality in community affects citizen participation in political and civic life. These are all part of my larger interests in understanding the social and organizational foundations of democratic citizenship.A new project along this line is a comparative study of the effects of formal education on democratic citizenship in various countries. Finally, I am collaborating with Robert Putnam on a project that focuses on the effects of religious social networks on various civic and political outcomes.
