I am an early career scholar at the Heidelberg Institute for Global Health. I study the link between health and political behavior, and how these are influenced by beliefs, structural factors, and geopolitical factors. I use medical decision making and policy preferences as a foil to better understand how the structural issues of rising inequality, climate change, gender and sexual discrimination, racial oppression, welfare state transformations, and political corruption impact health behavior and institutional support. I am a mixed methodologist with experience in interview research, experimental survey methods, and comparative policy analysis.
