Welcome to my webpage! I am an Assistant Professor of Political Science at Arizona State University in the School of Social and Behavioral Sciences. At ASU, I am an Executive Committee member of the new Global Human Rights Hub, a Senior Sustainability Scientist at the Julie Ann Wrigley Global Institute of Sustainability and affiliated with the Center on the Future of War.
I completed my PhD in Government at Cornell University in 2017. Previously, I held a predoctoral fellowship at UCLA School of Law's Williams Institute, a postdoctoral researcher position at ASU, and was a visiting scholar at the Browne Center for International Politics at the University of Pennsylvania.
My research centers on international law, international organizations, and human rights with more specific focus on UN treaty law, peacekeeping, women's , children's and LGBTQ rights . My book Committed to Rights was recently published by Cambridge University Press. My research has appeared or is forthcoming in the Journal of Human Rights, Human Rights Review, the Research Handbook on Law and Courts, and the Washington Post's Monkey Cage on international law and LGBTQ+ rights. I am a Co-PI on a National Science Foundation award supporting initiatives related to the ASU Global Human Rights Hub.
