Greetings. Welcome to my website. I am an assistant professor of Political Science at Kansas State University. In May of 2009, I received my Ph.D. from Emory University. I study International Relations, specializing in the behavior of international non-governmental organizations (INGOs) and their interactions with states, local populations, and intergovernmental organizations (IGOs). I am also interested in human rights, development, quantitative methodologies, formal modeling, and conflict more generally. To learn more about my research, please check out my CV, Research Papers, or Book Manuscript pages.
I think Kansas State University is a premier place to train for a professional or academic career in political science or security studies. In fact, K-State trained me! I earned both my bachelor and my master degrees at Kansas State. I am committed to providing other Wildcats with similarly great experiences. To learn more about my teaching, please check out my current course pages (World Politics, Global Human Rights, or Game Theory) or Prior Courses and Teaching Evaluations page.
