I am an associate professor in the Department of Political Science at Louisiana State University. My research and teaching interests involve race, gender, ethnicity and politics; the influence of descriptive representation on policy outcomes; issue framing and agenda-setting in both legislatures and courts; and, the factors that shape individual decisions to enter and exit the political arena.
