She specializes in comparative politics, mass political behavior, survey research, and the politics of post-Soviet and other post-communist regimes. Her publications include "Who Sues Government? Evidence from the Moscow Theater Hostage Case" (Comparative Political Studies, 2007), Protest and the Politics of Blame: The Russian Response to Unpaid Wages (2003, University of Michigan Press), “The Role of Blame in Collective Action: Evidence from Russia” (2003, American Political Science Review), and “Response Effects in Polite Cultures: A Test of Acquiescence in Kazakhstan,” (1999, Public Opinion Quarterly).

She is currently conducting research on judicial effectiveness and respect for law in Russia and beginning a new project on political responses to violence, which examines citizen participation after the hostage taking in Beslan, North Ossetia.  She has conducted survey research in the former Soviet Union for the U.S. Information Agency (now State Department) and the U.S. Agency for International Development, and she has held fellowships from Fulbright-Hays, Mellon, ACTR, FLAS, Harvard University 's Davis Center for Russian Studies, the University of Colorado's Institute of Behavioral Science, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, and the National Science Foundation.
