​I am an Assistant Professor of Political Science at Syracuse University's Maxwell School of Public Affairs and Citizenship.
I research the links between international and domestic politics via social norms and ideologies. I investigate these dynamics within the realms of gender politics, international organizations, and conflict. I focus both on the second image, that is, how internal dynamics of actors influence international affairs; and on the second image reversed, namely, how international affairs impact actors’ internal dynamics.
​
My research is published in World Politics and Security Studies, and my book project is under contract with Cambridge University Press.
I received my Ph.D. in Political Science from Loyola University Chicago, specializing in International Relations and Comparative Politics. Prior to joining Syracuse, I taught at New York University Abu Dhabi, the University of Illinois Urbana Champaign, and at Loyola University.
