The rise of women and candidates of color who identify as Republicans provides a new opportunity to examine how partisanship intersects with race/ethnicity and gender in messaging strategies. Building upon the deracialization and gender bias literature, we ask: do Black and Brown candidates strategically adopt and articulate "non-threatening" stances on racial politics, deliberately avoiding discussions of their own race and the race of their constituents? Are Black and Brown Republican candidates (...)

Nations around the world have experienced an increase in the visibility of transgender people. In some countries where visibility and supportive policies have increased, there has also been a rise in political backlash (e.g. Brittain, Australia, Canada and the U.S.). In the United States, federal and state governments have taken steps to ban gender-affirming care for trans youth and criminalize parents and medical providers. Faced with anti-trans policies, financially secure families may choose (...)

The goal of this project is to create, manipulate and control the atomic defects in van der Waals materials, such as Vb- centers in hexagonal boron nitride. These defects form effective two-level systems (qubit) and will be used as nanoscale quantum sensors for magnetic and electric field. The student will prepare the van der Waals material and heterostructure, and use quantum control protocols to identify and benchmark the qubits. As a stretch goal, new sensing protocols will be developed and tested (...)

This project examines the origins of policing practices during slavery. Beginning in the colonial era, with the first laws governing slavery, this research project demonstrates that contemporary policing has its roots in slavery and the desperate struggle among slaveholders and colonial authorities to control and dominate the enslaved population. Student researchers will examine slavery’s early laws, policies, and practices to illustrate how colonial authorities cultivated a system of surveillance (...)

Our lab aims to identify modifiable risk factors for the development and worsening of depression and suicidality (i.e., suicidal thoughts and behavior) among adolescents. Our lab seeks to identify who and when adolescents are most at risk for suicidality in real time and across development, with a particular focus on sleep and social media as both potential risk factors and opportunities for intervention. Our research applies a developmentally-informed approach and uses novel technological methods (...)
