​Welcome! ​

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

I'm currently working on a book on activists exiled after the 2010-2011 Arab Spring uprisings. I am particularly interested in the experience of exile and the process through which exiles influence politics back home. D
uring AY2022-2023, I will be on leave from teaching and based in Berlin, Germany at the WZB's Center for Civil Society Research for this project thanks to support from the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation and the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD). 

My CV is available here. 

Please note I am on parental leave during spring semester 2022 and as of July 1, 2022, I will be an assistant professor of politics at Princeton University. I may be slow to respond to emails and requests to review manuscripts during this transition period.
