Biography

I am a Lecturer (Assistant Professor) in Education at the University of Glasgow. 

My current research is focused on the effects of education policies, programs, and practices on students' civic learning outcomes. I study these and adjacent topics across education systems.

I serve on the editorial boards of the American Educational Research Journal and AERA Open. I also serve in various advisory roles (e.g., ICCS 2027 and the UK All-Party Parliamentary Group on Political & Media Literacy).

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 PhD in educational policy from Michigan State University, an MA in education and social policy from New York University, and an MEd and BS from the University of Massachusetts Amherst.
