I am Assistant Professor of Political Science at Dickinson College. My research focuses on democratic theory and constitutional law, with connections to populism, illiberal democracy and democratic backsliding.
I received my Ph.D. from the University of California San Diego and my J.D. from William and Mary Law School. I recently received the PPE Society's Gerald Gaus Memorial PPE Essay Prize. I'm co-author (with Stephan Haggard) of the blog Novels of Authoritarian Rule, hosted by the University of California's Institute on Global Conflict and Cooperation.
