I am an Associate Professor of Political Science at NYU-Abu Dhabi and Global Network Associate Professor of Politics at NYU. I study political identities, legacies of conflict, post-conflict reconciliation, and topics relating to good governance.

​

Much of my work is on Russia and Ukraine. However, I have also done fieldwork in Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America. In addition, I have published on the legacies of violence in Western Europe and the United States.

​

I am particularly interested in how historical events shape present-day political behavior and attitudes. My research combines multiple methods including experiments, surveys, ethnography, and archival research.

​

My work has appeared or is forthcoming in journals such as the American Political Science Review, American Journal of Political Science, and Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. I hold a Ph.D. in Political Science from Yale University.
