I’m glad to be working with several very talented Ph.D. students in the Sociology program at Penn State. Please feel free to reach out to any of them to hear more about their research. I’m currently chairing or co-chairing the following students’ dissertations:
Marjan Davoodi (link) is studying the moralization of political issues in public discourse
Liam Essig (link) is researching polarization among political elites on Twitter
Jisu (Jason) Park (link) is researching how sexual minorities’ social ties influence key life outcomes
