PhD Candidate in Politics, Brandeis University

Profile Articles Activity

I am a PhD candidate in Politics writing my dissertation on both the emergence of youth conservative activism in the 1960s and 1970s and how this activism shapes our political conflicts today. My research provides a unique and evidence-based approach to understanding how activism is essential to understanding both the institutional and behavioral logics of the contemporary Conservative Movement in America.

My research has been supported by awards from Kansas University, the Hoover Institution at Stanford University, and Brandeis University. I am planning to defend my dissertation in spring 2025.
