I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Political Science at the University of South Carolina. I primarily study public opinion and political behavior in autocratic regimes, specifically in sub-Saharan Africa. My book, The Autocratic Voter: Partisanship and Political Socialization under Dictatorship, presents an argument about the meaning of partisanship in electoral autocracies. Using the framework of social identity theory, it provides an answer to the question of why some people living in such regimes choose to support the ruling party, while others support the opposition, and others, still, stay out of politics altogether. You can listen to a discussion of the book on the Democracy Paradox podcast.

My other work on socialization, political geography, political behavior in autocracies, legacies of colonialism, and African politics has been published at the American Political Science Review, Perspectives on Politics, Comparative Politics, and Public Opinion Quarterly, amongst others.
