My research interests largely lie at the intersections of race/ethnicity, carcerality, culture, and media, with a particular emphasis on the ways in which media influences public opinion, collective behavior, and racial and ethnic relations. My masters thesis qualitatively explored the frames employed by Fox News in the network's portrayals of critical race theory (CRT). My current work seeks to explore how societal factors, such as legacies of oppression and institutional distrust, contribute to conspiratorial beliefs amongst Black Americans.
