About Me:

I am an assistant professor in the Department of Political Science at the University of Pittsburgh.

I received my Ph.D. in Political Science from Yale University in 2008. In 2006-2007, I was awarded a Peace Scholar Dissertation Fellowship from the United States Institute of Peace.

 

My research explores how regional international organizations promote and defend democratic norms in their neighborhoods. I focus in particular on questions revolving around electoral misconduct: When, where and how do regional international organizations respond to flawed elections? How does this international involvement influence the domestic government, the opposition, and ultimately, political outcomes? The answers to these questions influence our understanding of how international commitments are enforced, and when commitments to democracy within international organizations are credible.
