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 forced migration, violence, and peacebuilding. My current project, Homeward Bound: Refugee Return and Local Conflict after Civil War, 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, Foreign Policy, Slate, the Washington Post's Monkey Cage Blog, and Political Violence at a Glance. 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. |
