I am a Ph.D. candidate in the
Department of Political Science at Stanford University. I am a
2008-2009 Peace Scholar at the United States Institute of Peace
and a predoctoral fellow at the Center for International Security
and Cooperation (CISAC). I have previously held fellowships at
CISAC and at the Clayman Institute for Gender Research at Stanford
University.

My research and teaching interests span the field of international
relations, including international security, U.S. political
influences on homeland security policy, civil war and the logic of violence during conflict, and gender and
international relations. |
