Chan & Goh show that meritocratic beliefs among Latino and Asian Americans are linked to greater support for deportation and less concern about its harms, revealing how system-justifying ideologies can work against group interests.

I am proud to share my latest peer-reviewed work with @chanknathan and John Mok, "Desperate Acts of Democracy: Identity Threat, Autocratization and Voter Turnout in Hong Kong" out now at @chinaquarterly.
This piece is very special to us, and likely our last survey study in HK🧵

Does linked fate among women of color (WoC) shape evaluations of WoC politicians?
@joycehnguy@AcademicAjd & @chanknathan show solidarity matters: when WoC feel a shared fate across racial lines, they’re more likely to support WoC pols.

🚨new pub! 🚨
My first (!) first-authored academic article with @AcademicAjd and @chanknathan, “Ladies’ Choice: Intersectional Linked Fate and Public Opinion Toward Women of Color in Politics” is out in @poqjournal! (1/5)
We additionally find that stronger LGBTQ+ linked fate is associated with a higher likelihood of turning out to vote, leaning liberal, stronger identification as a Democrat, and vote choice for Democratic candidates
Using a oversample of ~2,000 LGBTQ+ Americans from the 2020 Collaborative Multiracial Post-Election Survey, we uncover differences in LGBTQ+ linked fate across gender identity, sexual orientation, race, and among those who have experienced discrimination
Then we theorize about who within the LGBTQ+ community holds stronger perceptions of linked fate and then think about the political implications of LGBTQ+ linked fate
We begin by interrogating the concept of LGBTQ+ linked fate by situating this, comparing and contrasting this, to the solidarity among other social identity groups in the United States
Excited to share a new article with @GabMagni, "The Group-Basis of Political Behaviour among Minoritized Communities: The Case of LGBTQ+ Linked Fate and Sexual and Gender Minorities" now out in @BJPolS ! 1/x 👇

ALT BJPolS abstract discussing the political behavior of LGBTQ+ individuals, focusing on community strength and political attitudes. The paper uses data from the 2020 National Health Interview Survey among other sources.
My newest publication w/ @leungvivien_ is out in @PolBehavior 📝
“The Activation of Anti-Asian Attitudes on Vote Choice”

🧵 below:
Using over time cross-sectional and panel data, we find that while anti-Asian attitudes were unrelated to vote choice between 2008-2016, that anti-Asian attitudes became associated with voting for Trump during the 2020 presidential election.

Our latest exit poll analysis shows Asian American voters shifted in the #2024Election. While a majority (54%) backed Harris, support for Trump was 5 points higher than in 2020.
This trend, starting in 2016, signals a changing political landscape for the AAPI electorate.

But in the last three elections, the partisan gap has narrowed significantly."
