Welcome to my academic web page. I research strategy and organization in
politicized group conflicts, parliamentary settings, and transnational
relations. The geographic areas I study closely are North Africa, the
Middle East, and Afghanistan. My first book presents a new
perspective and theory to understand the evolution & outcomes of ethnic
conflict, occupation and civil war. It contains studies of Afghan
conflicts and broad statistical research.
Organizations at War in Afghanistan & Beyond was published by
Cornell University Press in 2008.
My other major research interest is the politics of Muslim
minorities in Western Europe and North America. I organized an
international conference at IU on the topic. An edited volume titled
Muslims in Western Politics is
forthcoming with Indiana University Press in Fall 2008.
I received my PhD in political science from UCLA in the
summer of 2002, and spent a year as a Fellow at
Stanford University's Center for International Security & Cooperation (CISAC). I am
currently an Assistant Professor of Political Science & Middle Eastern Studies
at Indiana University, Bloomington.
