Hello! I am political scientist studying the political and social-psychological dynamics of violence and reconciliation, with an emphasis on developing practical interventions to bridge divides and promote cooperation. My work has been published in Comparative Political Studies, among other journals, and has received support from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada, the Centre for Economic Policy Research, and the Harry Frank Guggenheim Foundation. Most recently, I received the 2026 Ernst B. Haas Best Dissertation Award from the European Politics and Society Section of the American Political Science Association.
