Welcome!
I am an assistant professor of politics at Princeton University. I was previously an assistant professor of political science at Yale University and a postdoctoral research fellow at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government's Middle East Initiative.
My research focuses on the politics of authoritarianism and religion in the Middle East. I'm currently working on a book on exile in the digital age. I theorize whether and how the internet has transformed the experience of political exile, and with it the influence of exiles in domestic politics, through an empirical study of Egyptians exiled after the country's 2011 uprising.
My first book, After Repression: How Polarization Derails Democratic Transition, was published by Princeton University Press. It received the Robert A. Dahl Award for scholarship of the highest quality on the subject of democracy and an honorable mention for the Gregory Luebbert Book Award for the best book in the field of comparative politics from the American Political Science Association.
My CV is here and you can reach me at enugent at princeton dot edu.
