What are Americans’ perceptions of immigrants’ politics? How do beliefs about whether newcomers are future allies or adversaries shape immigration attitudes? A new #AJS article shows that perceived partisan (mis)alignment powerfully informs US public opinion on immigration.

🚨So happy to share my new paper with my advisor Grace Kao is out in @demresjournal.bsky.social! We explore what shaped Americans’ fertility desires during the COVID-19 pandemic.
How did American adults change their #fertility desires during #COVID-19—and why? New research shows that pandemic-specific concerns, like fear of infection and social distancing, shaped fertility desires beyond economic or emotional hardship.

Many students hesitate to come to office hours because they don't know what to say. I've started explicitly asking all students to attend at least once and providing sentence starters—it's made a big difference in increasing participation.
