About Me
I am an assistant professor in the University of Southern California's department of political science and international relations. My research focuses on the nexus of migration, violence, and peacebuilding. My current project, Homeward Bound: Return Migration and Conflict in Burundi, examines how an often ignored but ubiquitous consequence of civil war — the return of displaced populations — affects post-conflict environments. I have worked with international policy organizations including the U.S. Institute of Peace, the World Bank, and the Sudd Institute. You can read more about my work in International Security, the Washington Post's Monkey Cage Blog, Slate, and Political Violence at a Glance. I am also the author of Agents of Change: Youth in Post-Conflict Reconstruction. The book challenges prior notions of the impact of the global youth population bulge. I served as a postdoctoral research fellow at Perry World House at the University of Pennsylvania (2018-2019) and hold a Ph.D. in political science from Columbia University. |
