Research interests: international relations, secrecy in IR, border security, global policing, intelligence in IR, network analysis
|
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, particularly as it relates to longstanding theoretical questions about international order, diffusion, and sovereignty. Substantively, I study the causes and consequences of an emerging supply chain security regime -- a topic at the intersection of international security and political economy. 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 intelligence to the public and what effect such disclosures have on public support for costly foreign policies. 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. I received a B.A. in political science with highest honors from Swarthmore College in 2017.
