Research Agenda
My research focuses on Brazil's democratic institutions. Specifically, I have researched electoral rules, the Brazilian Congress, the executive, and executive-legislative relations. Most of my research is grounded on the representation literature and the ways in which elected officials represent their constituency. When thinking about representation in Brazil two specific groups spark my interest: women as a representational group and the growing evangelical population in the country.
