White Fortressing: How Racial Threat and Conservatism Lead to the Formation of Local Governments
A large body of research has shown that American politics have been highly influenced by conservative movements born in American White suburbia.

By forming cities, unincorporated communities detach themselves from shared county-level authorities and the wider populations se…
Ethnic Cleavages and Vote Choice in Trinidad and Tobago
Trinidad and Tobago is mostly split between two main ethnic groups of African and Indian origins, yet there is little empirical research on the importance of these social cleavages in voting behaviour in the country. One branch of scholarly work on ethnic voting suggests that individuals use social identities as heuristics to evaluate candidates. However, another line of research has found that the role of ethnicity in elections is declining in s…
Still Muted: The Limited Participatory Democracy of Zoom Public Meetings
Recent research has demonstrated that participants in public meetings are unrepresentative of their broader communities. Some suggest that reducing barriers to meeting attendance can improve participation, while others believe doing so will produce minimal changes. The COVID-19 pandemic shifted public meetings online, potentially reducing the time costs associated with participating. We match participants at online public meetings with administra…

Yet existing research presents little direct evidence of local political elites’ perceptions of racial inequality and preferred strategies to address it. Which mayors perceive racial inequality to be a problem in their cities, and which mayors prefer substantive rather than symbolic solutions to this problem? To answer this question, we survey more than 100 mayors of…
