Assistant professor at the University of Toronto and faculty affiliate at PASCL-Stanford. (Almost done) writing a book about how institutions can shape intergroup relations in conflict-ridden societies.

Devastating news. Kimuli's pathbreaking scholarship on ethnic segregation deeply inspired my research on intergroup relations, and her generous, constructive feedback and sharp sense of humor made every encounter with her meaningful and special.

That’s a wrap on my 1st semester teaching our PhD course on causal inference @utoronto.ca! It was a joy to teach our amazing students, and incredibly gratifying to see them use various designs to tackle big questions in their final projects. They even surprised me with a heartwarming holiday gift ❤️

We also found in survey experiments that ppl liked and supported the govs in the videos across party lines and among strong partisans

These results show you *can* succeed in American politics - on Left and Right - by showing basic decency for those you disagree with

Then, as chair of @natlgovsassoc.bsky.social, Gov Cox recruited govs to film bipartisan endorsements of civility, nonviolence, and "disagreeing better." In a field RCT, we found these videos increased interest in pro-bipartisan orgs and openness to convos with those they disagree with politically

It is great to see Gov Spencer Cox stepping up to turn the temperature down and focus ppl on grieving the tragic killing of Charlie Kirk. Gov Cox has long promoted civility across party lines. Our research finds that his messages are persuasive when Americans see it.
