Collaboration interests: How political and media actors use values and moral emotions to moralize discourse on political issues; compare computational approaches for measuring values and moralization (e.g., moral foundations dictionary, LIWC values dictionary, supervised ML based on essay training data).
More broadly, she's interested in the application of cultural or emotional resonance to diverse areas of research: political participation and engagement on social media, polarization, and citizens navigating a high-choice political information environment.
