Welcome! I'm an assistant professor of political science at Yale University. My research explores the psychology of political behavior in the Middle East, with a focus on the political causes and consequences of religion and repression. In my work, I use a variety of survey, voting, archival, and interview evidence in my work, and incorporate a mixture of methodologies.
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. I run a research group for doctoral students and postdoctoral fellows working on Middle East politics.
I am on junior faculty leave during calendar year 2020. During this time, I won't be teaching or available to review manuscripts, and may be slow to respond to emails.
