RESEARCH & WORKING PAPERS

My research explores the dynamics of political socialization, generational politics, and party identification, with a focus on how early-life experiences and historical legacies shape political attitudes. I investigate the enduring effects of authoritarian legacies and the role of state control and indoctrination through education and media. My work on political messaging and social media interventions advances understanding of democratic resilience in diverse contexts. I further develop novel experimental methods and tools for assessing democratic support and resistance to autocratic alternatives.
