I’m a social psychology professor who studies romantic relationships and political partisanship. I work at Northwestern University, with appointments in psychology and Kellogg. I serve as founding co-director of the Litowitz Center for Enlightened Disagreement, the Morton O. Schapiro Fellow at the Institute for Policy Research, and co-host of the Love Factually podcast. My undergraduate degree is also from Northwestern (1997), and my MA (1999) and PhD (2001) degrees are from the University of North Carolina. I live in Evanston, IL, with my wife, two kids, and various pets. I’m curious, but not querulous.
