Research

Interests

My research is motivated by an interest in collective action outside of formal institutions.
I am particularly interested in violent and nonviolent responses by citizens to
changing political contexts. Where many political scientists focus on individual behavior
conditioned by institutions, I study the interaction of state actors and dissidents and the
conditions under which citizens choose various types of action or inaction. The substantive areas that interest me include civil war, terrorism, international war and security, and foreign policy.

Publications

On my publications page, I have abstracts, information, and data related to each article. Recently, my work has been published in International Studies Perspectives, International Interactions, Civil Wars, and Political Research Quarterly. I also have two articles forthcoming in PS: Political Science & Politics and the Journal of Human Rights.

Working Papers

Similar to the publications page, my working papers page has pdf's of recent conference papers, data, and abstracts.
