I am a social scientist who studies human decision-making and collective action. I am an expert in the areas of American Politics, Political Behavior, Political Psychology, Survey Methodology, and Race and Ethnicity. My research examines how emotions impact the ability of groups to overcome collective action problems. My multi-methodological approach includes conducting original experiments and analyzing survey data.
I am an Assistant Professor at Hawai'i Pacific University in the Department of History and International Studies in the College of Liberal Arts. My research agenda focuses on decolonization and implementing anticolonial science. My scholarship is grounded in my relationship with, responsibility to, and community building among Indigenous scholars. I built, designed, and implemented the two largest identity surveys on Indigenous communities in Hawaiʻi and Guåhan. I am Principal Investigator of the 2019 Native Hawaiian Survey, and Co-Principal Investigator of the 2021 Guåhan Survey. |
