My name is Kristin ("Krissy"), and I'm an Assistant Professor of Political Science at the University of South Carolina. My research adopts a political psychology framework to explore rural-urban differences in political behavior and public health, as well as vaccine and health-related misinformation and attitudes. 

 

One stream of research investigates rurality as a social identity in contemporary politics: how perceiving one's sense of self as being tied to rurality, and how this relates to populist attitudes, immigration, democratic norms, affective polarization, and attitudes toward government.
