CV

 

I am an Associate Professor of Political Science and Middle Eastern Studies at Indiana University, Bloomington. I received my PhD from UCLA in 2002, was a CISAC Postdoctoral Fellow at Stanford University in 2002-03, a 2009 Carnegie Scholar, and a 2014-15 Fellow at the Woodrow Wilson Center. My book Organizations at War in Afghanistan and Beyond (Cornell University Press) develops an organizational theory to explain the evolution and outcomes of civil wars, ethnic strife and other territorial conflicts.  I am also editor of Muslims in Western Politics (Indiana University Press) and the author of articles and book chapters on Muslim minority political representation in Western liberal democracies, public attitudes towards Muslim immigration, the Arab Spring, conflict processes, and Islamist parties’ participation in elections. My articles are published in both qualitative (e.g. American Historical Review) and quantitative (e.g. Journal of Conflict Resolution) journals. I am also the recipient of a 2020 IU Trustees Teaching Award.
