I am a professor in the Government Department in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences and I hold a secondary faculty position in Global Health and Population at the Harvard Chan School. My research focuses on the politics of development, religion and politics, and “identity-based” conflict, primarily in the Middle East and North Africa. I am delighted to join the Lowell House community. I live in Boston with my husband, three sons (although the oldest is about to college and the second is applying imminently), and our dog, Mike.
