Research interests: international cooperation, global governance, social networks, secrecy in international relations
|
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 will join the Department of Political Science at Northwestern University as a College Fellow and Assistant Professor in September 2025. I research the politics of securing the global economy and, in a related agenda, the politics of secrecy in international relations. Questions include: How and under what conditions do governments ovecome barriers to sharing intelligence with each other in order to address shared threats? Why are states increasingly disclosing intelligence to the public, and what effects do such disclosures have on public support for costly foreign policies and trust in the intelligence community? How do states secure global supply chains, and what are the political and economic consequences of these choices? Theoretically, I am particularly interested in the role of social networks in international politics as they relate to longstanding questions about global governance and overcoming barriers to cooperation. 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.
