I am an Assistant Professor of Political Science at Kansas State University. I received my Ph.D. in Political Science from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, specializing in Comparative Politics and minoring in Methodology and International Relations. I received my B.A. from Union College in Schenectady, NY.
My research centers on democracy, institutional change, executive-legislative relations and female executives. It has been published in: Electoral Studies, Political Research Quarterly, Governance, and the International Political Science Review. My book manuscript, currently in preparation, examines how Latin American presidents with ambitious reform agendas implement them in a democratic context. More specifically, it analyzes the underlying causes, mechanisms for success, and consequences of one particular method of reform: a Constituent Assembly with supreme power to change the political system. I have conducted extensive fieldwork in Bolivia and Ecuador. You can read more about my research here. I teach courses in Comparative and Latin American Politics. You can read more about my teaching here. |
