I specialize in the areas of International Security, Peace and Conflict Studies, foreign policy analysis, fragility, conflict and security, climate change and violence, and the Global South with a focus on Africa, Middle East and South Asia.

My most recent publication is the co-authored book, Militias and the Challenges of Post-Conflict Peace: Silencing the Guns. I am currently working on a book entitled Fragility in the Global South: Bridging Gaps in Theory, Practice and Policy; and an edited volume, Post-Conflict Peacebuilding: Global Perspectives (under contract with McGill-Queen’s University Press).

I have extensive research experience in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Nigeria, Jordan, Egypt, Myanmar, Kenya, Ethiopia and Uganda, and international development work experience in Ethiopia, Tanzania, Uganda, Bangladesh, India and Nepal.

I have previously taught at various universities in Canada and around the world, including at the LSE, London Metropolitan University, American University in Cairo, McMaster University, Concordia University, York University and St. Francis Xavier University.

I will be teaching the following courses:
- POLS 2940 (Introduction to International Politics)
- POLS 4262 (Gun Politics)
- POLS 6220 (Contemporary Security Studies; graduate level)
