I am profesor de cátedra at the School of Social Sciences and Government at Tecnológico de Monterrey’s Santa Fe campus, and profesor investigador at CIDE’s Division of International Affairs.
My research examines how city residents perceive and develop opinions about issues affecting their communities. Across cities in the United States I have studied how urban residents and local authorities understand and respond to extreme poverty, low civic engagement, water provision, migration management and integration, public health, and humanitarian emergencies.
I also investigate how local institutions and micro political environments shape political socialization.
