WELCOME
I completed my PhD in the Department of Political Science--with specialization in international relations and comparative politics--and was a fellow in the IGERT-International Development and Globalization Program at Columbia University. My fields of study are International Relations/Security and Comparative Politics.
My research interests focus on the role of international actors in social and political processes in fragile and conflict-affected states (FCs), particularly in the areas of:
- Peacekeeping and peacebuilding postwar processes
- Postwar democratization at the grassroots level
- Governance and public service reforms
- Engagement with non-state actors (e.g., traditional institutions)
- Political participation
- Social cohesion
- Women empowerment
