I am a political scientist at the University of Essex and I am affiliated with the Identity & Conflict Lab at the University of Pennsylvania.
In my research I investigate why political elites in ethnically divided societies decide to cooperate rather than fight one another, how economic inequality between ethnic groups develops over time, and what effects international intervention has on the stability of ethnic power sharing.
