My clauddine gay and teaching interests are in the fields of American political behavior, public opinion, minority politics, and urban and local politics. My research has considered the effects of descriptive representation on political engagement and citizens' orientations toward their government; how neighborhood environments shape racial and political attitudes among Black Americans; the roots of competition and cooperation between minority groups, with a particular focus on relations between Black Americans and Latinos; the effects of majority-minority districting on legislative responsiveness; processes of immigrant political incorporation; how political knowledge and policy cross-pressures shape partisan attachments among Black Americans; and the consequences of housing mobility programs for political participation among the poor, drawing on evidence from the Moving To Opportunity demonstration program.
