I am an Associate Professor of Political Science in the School of Government and Public Policy at the University of Arizona. I received my PhD in 2013 from the Department of Political Science at The Pennsylvania State University. My teaching and research interests relate to various dynamics of civil war and nonviolent resistance, with an emphasis on organizational mobilization in contexts of state repression and domestic unrest, as well as civilian experiences during conflict. My work has been published or is forthcoming at Journal of Politics, International Studies Quarterly, Journal of Peace Research, Journal of Conflict Resolution, Conflict Management and Peace Science, Research and Politics, Journal of Global and Security Studies, and Terrorism and Political Violence.
