Welcome! I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Political Science at Indiana University. My research examines topics of identity, political violence, and post-war politics. In particular, I am interested in how identity shapes participation in conflict processes and how organizations that engaged in wartime violence participate in post-war politics. My current research agenda focuses on women’s participation in civil conflict and its long-term legacies on post-war politics and gender equality.

My research has been published in the American Journal of Political Science, Journal of Politics, British Journal of Political Science, Journal of Peace Research, Security Studies, International Studies Review, Political Research Quarterly, Civil Wars, and PS: Political Science and Politics. My research has been funded by the United States Institute of Peace, the Minerva Initiative, the Carrie Chapman Catt Center at Iowa State University, the Empirical Study of Gender Network, and the APSA Women, Gender and Politics section.
