Welcome! I am an Assistant Professor of Political Science and International Affairs at Northeastern University.

I study the politics of transitional justice and legacies of conflict. My broader interests include human rights violations, post-conflict processes, and public opinion. I am interested in various methodological approaches—from survey experiments and text-as-data, to process tracing and interviews. My scholarship appears or is forthcoming in World Politics, The Journal of Politics, Journal of Peace Research, Journal of Conflict Resolution, International Studies Quarterly, and Conflict Management & Peace Science.

Recent projects explore the effects of war crimes trials, political apologies, and other transitional justice policies on public opinion and state behavior; the portrayal of international criminal justice in public discourse; and the role of civil society in peace processes.

I teach courses on comparative politics, international affairs, and conflict. My teaching has received Northeastern’s College of Social Sciences and Humanities Outstanding Teaching Award (2020-2021).

I am a Faculty Affiliate of the Global Resilience Institute and Global Asian Studies Program at Northeastern University, and a Faculty Associate (by courtesy) of the Program on U.S.-Japan Relations at Harvard University, Weatherhead Center for International Affairs. Prior to joining Northeastern, I was a Postdoctoral Research Scholar in the Department of Political Science at Columbia University.

I hold a Ph.D. in political science from Stanford University and a B.A. in international relations and French from New York University.
