Research interests: international relations, secrecy in IR, network analysis, border control, policing, intelligence
|
Welcome! I'm a PhD candidate in political science at Brown University and pre-doctoral fellow at the Watson Institute for International and Public Affairs. I study the role of social networks in international politics, particulalry as it relates to longstanding theoretical questions about international cooperation, diffusion, and sovereignty. In a related agenda, I study the politics of secrecy in international relations. My research explores how and when states share sensistive information with each other, as well as why they disclose secrets to the public and what effect such disclosures have on public support for war. I combine a range of quantitative and qualitative methods in my research, including large-N observational studies, network analysis, survey experiments, process tracing, and elite interviews. Previously, I was a Fulbright recipient and Boren scholar in Brazil, where I researched transnational organized crime. I received a B.A. in political science with highest honors from Swarthmore College in 2017. You can reach me at [email protected] . |
