This is just a notification I will be attending APSA in Boston this year Thursday-Saturday as well as the Political Psychology Pre-Conference on Wednesday. Please feel free to contact me if you’re interested in arranging a meeting.

Meant to make a post announcing I would be attending the 2018 MPSA Conference, so, here it is late noting I attended. I’ve also updated the website with updated CV, added dissertation tab to organize all things related to dissertation work, and a few other updates on research.

My paper co-authored with Michael Peress, “Voter Placement of Candidate Ideology: A Test of Competing Theories” was recently accepted for presentation at the Southern Political Science Association 2017 conference. It will be on the panel “Ideology and Issues”, chaired by Michael D. Martinez.

I have updated the research page with the version of “Looking for a Fight? Conflict Avoidance and Responses to Uncivil Politics” to be presented at the APSA 2016 conference in Philadelphia.

I will be in the “Partisan War and Peace in a Polarized World” panel on Thursday, September 1 at 2:00 to 3:00 PM.

So, figured that since I’m going on this whole academic road thing, and since APSA is pushing for greater outreach and media usage among political scientists, figured starting up a website would be useful. Main thing is going to be posting research and teaching stuff as all that begins to start up. I may, however, take advantage of the blogging to talk about political science stuff from time to time. Whenever I can think of something at least.

I have also realized by my lack of pictures here I seriously need to get some up to date pictures of myself. So for now, no images of myself.
