I am a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Political Science at Sam Houston State University.

My current research focuses on far-right extremist movements and backlashes against human rights successes. I incorporate insights from research in human rights, mis/disinformation, social movements, and LGBTQ+ politics. To learn more, please look at my CV or Research section.

I am also a dedicated teacher who focuses on building active learning environments in my classrooms. I primarily instruct graduate and undergraduate courses on social science research methods, misinformation and propaganda, and political violence. A full list of my current courses, teaching history, and training can be found in my Teaching section.
