Profile

I completed my undergraduate degree at Yale University, and my MA and PhD in Political Science at the University of California, Berkeley. I arrived in Oxford in 2013 to take up an early career post at the Department of Politics and International Relations and St Hilda’s College, followed by two years as a lecturer at the Blavatnik School of Government. I have been at Lincoln since 2017, where I am the Gonticas Fellow in Politics & International Relations and Director of Studies for PPE.

College Teaching

At Lincoln, I teach the first-year ‘Practice of Politics’ paper, as well as the core modules in International Relations and Comparative Government for second-year students. I also offer tutorials for the undergraduate option on Russian and Post-Soviet Politics.

As Director of Studies for PPE, I serve as the first point of contact for prospective and current students in the PPE course at Lincoln. I also take the lead in coordinating academic expectations and discipline, teaching provision, and student support within PPE.
