Research & Writing

I study how citizens come to think what they think about politics and what makes it change.

Civic actions and political attitudes

I investigate the relationship between institutions, civic actions, and the formation of political identities. I focus on how institutionalised forms of civic engagement shape attitudes towards democracy, co-partisans, and political opponents.

AI and political decision-making

I study whether and how interactions with AI can change citizens’ opinions and behaviour. My research looks into persuasion and accountability.
