A bookshelf filled with books

This quarter (Winter 2025), I am teaching two upper division undergraduate courses: Peacekeeping and Climate Change and Conflict.

In the past, I have taught undergraduate courses on Peacekeeping, Ethnic Conflict, and Quantitative Methods.

If you are a prospective Ph.D. student interested in studying International Relations, civil war, development, African politics, or identity at UCSB, please do not hesitate to reach out to me! I'm always happy to chat.
