Bio:
My current research focuses on explaining why US public opinion toward gay men and lesbians has liberalized since the 1980s and why disparities in attitudes continue to persist between states. I examine aggregate levels of college attainment and their effect on attitudes. In other research, I examine changing American attitudes toward motherhood and work, and I am currently developing a survey for an NSF-funded project on attitudes toward synthetic biology, a new and emerging field of science and technology.
