Welcome!
I am an Assistant Professor of Political Science in the School of Government and Public Policy at the University of Arizona. My research addresses questions of non-state conflict, focusing on the intersection of violent and non-violent tactics. I am particularly interested in civilian agency, examining the outcomes of nonviolent campaigns and civilians' use of collective action in civil war contexts. My book, When Nonviolent Civil Resistance Campaigns Fail: Demobilized, Escalated and Negotiated Ends, examines both how and why nonviolent civil resistance campaigns fail, and the diverse category of campaigns that fall short. My work has also been published in the Journal of Peace Research, Journal of Conflict Resolution, Conflict Management and Peace Science, and the Journal of Global Security Studies, among others. I currently teach courses on civil resistance, civilians in civil war/human security, terrorism, and international relations.
