Picture
Welcome! ​

I am an assistant professor of political science at Yale University. My research focuses on the politics of authoritarianism, political psychology, and the Middle East. My book, After Repression: How Polarization Derails Democratic Transition, 
is available through Princeton University Press.

I received my doctorate in politics from Princeton University and was previously a postdoctoral research fellow with the Middle East Initiative at Harvard Kennedy School of Government's Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs. I also hold a B.A. in Arabic and an M.A. in Arab Studies, both from Georgetown University.

At Yale, I am affiliated with the MacMillan Center, the Council on Middle East Studies, the Political Violence and its Legacies Workshop, and Pierson College, and I run a monthly research group for doctoral students and postdoctoral fellows working on Middle East politics.
