Welcome! I am a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Political Science at Texas A&M University.

​

My research lies in the field of Comparative Politics with an emphasis on the causes and consequences of marginalized groups’ representation in East Asia and across the globe.

​

My dissertation explores three factors that may limit substantive representation of marginalized groups once those groups obtain descriptive representation in the legislature: (1) the majorities' attitudes toward historically underrepresented groups' interests; (2) the discriminatory distribution of legislative resources to legislators elected via quotas; and (3) legislators' responsiveness to public opinion regarding a minority group and the saliency of their issues, especially when the group is controversial in society.
