Welcome!I am an Assistant Professor of Political Science and Director of the International and Global Studies Program at Nazareth University in Rochester, NY. Beginning in Fall 2026, I will join the School of Interdisciplinary Global Studies at the University of South Florida as an Assistant Professor of International Relations. Before joining Nazareth, I was a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Mershon Center for International Security Studies at The Ohio State University. I earned my PhD in Political Science from the Maxwell School of Syracuse University. My research focuses on international relations theory, international security, migration, and political behavior, with a regional emphasis on the Middle East and Western Europe. My work has been published in leading academic journals and major media outlets, including the Journal of Global Security Studies, Politics, Groups, and Identities, European Politics and Society, Turkish Studies, Forced Migration Review, Oxford Research Encyclopedia of International Studies, Migration and Development, TIME, The Washington Post, and The Conversation. My research has been supported by grants from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, the Andrew Berlin Family National Security Research Fund, the Institute for Humane Studies, the Moynihan Institute at Syracuse University, and the Office of International Affairs at The Ohio State University. I have two co-authored forthcoming books: The Muslim World in International Relations: Discourse, Power, and Pluralism in Global Politics (Cambridge University Press) and Demographic Anxiety in Turkey: Migration, Identity, and Politics (Edinburgh University Press). |
