I am an assistant professor at CIDE and at the School of Social Sciences and Government in Tecnológico de Monterrey in Mexico City.
My research examines how local institutions shape the development of political attitudes, particularly among religious, ethnic, and racial minorities.
Also, it inquires why local policymaking and implementation succeed or fail through the lens of public opinion and political socialization research. It finds that preconceived notions voters and street-level bureaucrats hold, and the information they receive from community agents of socialization and algorithmically curated news matter.
I use survey research, multilevel models in combination with panel and spatial data to identify local conditions where political socialization promotes civic skills.
