Defended my Ph.D. at Emory yesterday!
This project was built from many long days in the archives, studying how non-state actors shaped colonial governance. Extremely grateful to everyone.
Very excited to be joining Penn State's Political Science Department as an Assistant Professor this fall!

Re-election means voters can hold elected officials accountable, but can it be effective where criminal groups shape local politics? In my new article in @bjpols.bsky.social, I show that in high-crime areas of Mexico, re-election did not boost accountability, but increased collusion instead.

An important read that highlights where the world is now -- and what's on our horizon.
New opinion piece with Laura Saavedra-Lux and Samira Diebire. We are experiencing the most violent period since the end of the Cold War. Yet, only a few conflicts grab our attention. We reflect on the consequences of ignoring these ongoing conflicts:
