My research seeks to understand how racial prejudice and inter-group dynamics influence policy and political attitudes as well as policy outcomes. Specifically, I am interested in understanding the role of racial predispositions in white attitudes toward gun control and immigration, but also how and through what paths the activation of such attitudes can influence political and ideological self-placement. Furthermore, my work looks at the role racial threat plays as a driver of immigration policy outcomes in the 50 states. I am also interested in theorizing the policy environment as part of the dominant normative environment that “signals” to individuals messages about belonging. My work looks at how the immigration policy environment affects behaviors and attitudes among immigrant groups and especially how it affects the educational outcomes of Latino and Asian youth.
