Assistant Professor of International Affairs
Faculty Fellow, Center for International Trade and Security
I am an assistant professor in the Department of International Affairs at the University of Georgia’s School of Public and International Affairs.
Before Georgia, I was a Post-doctoral Associate with the Leitner Program in International and Comparative Political Economy at the Whitney and Betty MacMillan Center for International and Area Studies at Yale University. I received my Ph.D. in Political Science from the University of Wisconsin–Madison in 2017.
My research is centered on international political economy and the political economy of cooperation, but I have used insights from these areas to make contributions to broader debates in international relations. Primarily, I use surveys and experiments to understand how the public and policy elites think about the global economy and foreign policy.
My research is published or forthcoming in the American Journal of Political Science, International Organization, International Studies Quarterly, Perspectives on Politics, World Politics, and other leading peer-reviewed journals. I have also published a number of pieces in Foreign Policy and on the Monkey Cage.
I have received outside support for my research from the Carnegie Corporation of New York, the National Science Foundation, the MacArthur Foundation, and the Stanton Foundation.
I am a Faculty Fellow at the University of Georgia Center for International Trade and Security. In my time at Georgia, I have also been a Lilly Teaching Fellow and Teaching Academy Fellow. In 2022, I won the Department of International Affairs Award for Teaching Excellence. In 2023, I won the School of Public and International Affairs Research Award.
I am affiliated with the Global Research Institute at William & Mary as a Principal Investigator on the Teaching, Research, and International Policy (TRIP) Project.
