Hi there! I'm excited to be a visiting assistant professor at Bates College.  My research looks at the dynamics and legacies of conflict, particularly the way that civil wars alter the importance of pre-war identities. 

    I was previously a post-doctoral fellow at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and the University of Chicago's Project on Security and Threats (CPOST). I did my doctoral studies at Yale University, where I was affiliated with the Order, Conflict, and Violence (OCV) and Political Violence and its Legacies (PVL) programs.
