Africa Market in Mattru-Jong, Bonthe district Jesus Statue, Dili, Timor Leste


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.
