I am a social scientist with expertise in cross-ethnic personal networks in divided societies with legacies of ethnic violence. My existing research examines the micro-level dynamics of social cohesion, reconciliation, and peacebuilding in Bosnia and Herzegovina and Israel using a mixed-methods approach that combines ethnography, in-depth interviews, random-sample surveys, personal network analysis, and typological theory building and testing. My broader research agenda brings a relational perspective to the study of conflict, contributing to international security and comparative politics scholarship on conflict processes, political violence, race and ethnicity, political networks, and political psychology. Informed by a decade of practitioner experience in civil society organizations, my work also carries direct implications for security and public policy in conflict-affected societies. My teaching interests include ethnic conflict and its micro-level dynamics, intergroup relations, peace and reconciliation, international relations, public policy, and security studies, as well as quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-methods research design.
My research has been generously supported by the U.S. Institute of Peace, the American Councils Title VIII Program, and the U.S. Department of Education's Foreign Languages and Area Studies Program.
