I am interested in the relational contexts of public opinion. Especially, the role of social network & culture in how—people conceptualize, contend with, and contest categories of social difference in today’s diverse but divided world. Tied by my interest in complex and emerging social relations, I have studied a diverse range of cases. My current project focuses on the evolving relations in immigration issues in the United States. I plan to study how personal networks play a role in the general public's opinion on immigration, especially the social membership between newcomers and natives.
