When people ask what I do, I tell them I'm a political scientist. When they ask if I want to be a politician, I ask them if they think oncologists want to be tumors. Often they look at me funny.
I conduct research and teach courses on the politics of development. Broadly speaking, my research focuses on the economic, societal and institutional foundations of political order and inclusion.
