Kelsey Shoub is an assistant professor at the School of Public Policy. Her research examines two broad questions: How do descriptive identities (e.g., race and gender) of officials and civilians intersect with context and policy to shape outcomes; and How does language relate to policy and perceptions of politics? To explore these questions, she collects and analyzes large data sets using statistical and machine learning techniques, which she complements with experimental methods.
