- Associate Professor of Political Science, University of Missouri-St. Louis
I study the causes and consequences of political violence and human rights. My work has appears in the Journal of Global Security Studies, Journal of Conflict Resolution, Social Sciences, and the Journal of Human Rights. I also co-lead the economic and social rights team at the Human Rights Measurement Initiative (HRMI), a global network of practitioners, academics, and advocates dedicated towards providing quantitative data on human rights performance for all rights found in international legal principles.
