I am an Assistant Professor of International Relations at the London School of Economics, specialising in international and comparative political economy.
I primarily study the political economy of climate change and decarbonisation. I have associated research interests in labour, bureaucracy and the politics of gender, ethnicity, and race. My work on these topics is published in the American Journal of Political Science, the Journal of Politics, and World Politics, and has been featured as a research highlight in Nature Climate Change. I have provided commentary for outlets including The Economist and The Washington Post.
My research has received the American Political Science Association Walsh Award for Best Dissertation on Science, Technology, and Environmental Politics; McGillivray Award for Best Paper in Political Economy; Sage Prize for Best Paper in Comparative Politics; Award for Best Paper on Women, Gender, and Politics; and Award for Best Paper on Democracy and Autocracy; as well as the IPUMS USA Award for Best Published Research. It has been funded by the ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳ Research and Impact Support Fund, Center for Science and Society, Charles Koch Foundation, Columbia Center for Political Economy, Columbia Experimental Laboratory for Social Sciences, Cornell Atkinson Center for Sustainability, Endeavor Foundation, Institute for Social and Economic Research and Policy, President’s Council of Cornell Women, and President’s Global Innovation Fund.
I was a postdoctoral fellow at the Niehaus Center for Globalization & Governance at Princeton University prior to joining ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳. I hold a PhD in political science from Columbia University and BA in international relations from the University of Southern California.
