Biography

I am a Lecturer (Assistant Professor) in Education within the Education Leadership and Policy group at the University of Glasgow. 

My current research focuses primarily on the causal effects of education policies, programs, and practices on civic learning outcomes. I also study access to civic learning opportunities and the measurement of civic learning opportunities and outcomes. I study these and adjacent topics across education systems with a particular focus on the United States and Germany.

I currently serve on advisory committees for IEA's International Civic and Citizenship Education Study (ICCS 2027) and am part of the Academic Advisory Group for the UK All-Party Parliamentary Group on Political & Media Literacy. 

I also serve as as an editorial board member of the American Educational Research Journal (AERJ) and AERA Open.

I previously held research positions at the American Institutes for Research (AIR), the Annenberg Institute at Brown University, the Hector Research Institute at the University of Tübingen, and Educational Testing Service (ETS).

I obtained a Ph.D. in educational policy from Michigan State University, an M.A. in education and social policy from New York University, and an M.Ed. and B.S. from the University of Massachusetts Amherst.
