My job market paper is now available as a preprint! 🚨

Using survey evidence with a conjoint experiment, I test how state-level immigrant integration policy features affect perceptions of fairness and support.

Since 2000, the average college course description has more political content & more liberal slant. Changes are modest relative to persistent cross-field differences; student demand for liberal content rises over the 2010s & peaks in 2020

What shapes preferences toward immigrants?

Across 1.5M profiles, people strongly prefer immigrants who:
- are employed
- high-skilled
- speak the language
- have roots in the host country
- fled violence
- followed legal procedures

Surprisingly, nationality matters very little.

[Marco Aviña @marcomavina]

NEW in @ScienceAdvances, after 3 years of work with a great team:

We review and meta-analyze 100 immigrant conjoint experiments in 36 countries.

Immigration preferences are surprisingly similar across people and countries, but changing over time and structured by politics.

@DerekJWakefield Thank you and ditto!!🦝

I passed my defense last week! 🎉

My dissertation examines how subnational immigrant integration policy influences perceptions of fairness and identifies policy bundles Americans are more likely to support.

@ClaytonNall This milestone wouldn't have been possible without my loved ones. How'd I get so lucky to do grad school with friends like these🥹

[Taylor N. Trummel @tntrummel]

@ClaytonNall I want to recognize them for their thoughtful guidance in developing my research and teaching. They have been exemplary and I've been fortunate to work with them for all these years.

Could US intervention trigger a Cuban refugee wave? Robert Gates says the biggest risk is another Mariel boatlift. In a sharp new guest post, @gildeguerra shows why that's unlikely: most pathways are blocked and the people most likely to flee already left: https://t.co/QP5PIwS8kA

Some good news: In Our Interest has been selected as 2026 Best Book on Migration by @MigCitizenAPSA.

The book's pitch in one line: pro-immigration politics succeeds when policies visibly serve citizens, but (most often) fails when they don't.
