Research

My research on international human rights looks specifically at the motivation of actors - both state and non-state - to promote human rights abroad. My dissertation investigated the relationship between foreign aid allocation and human rights. My current work explores the role of public opinion in supporting human rights-friendly foreign policy. Another project looks at the relationship between military alliances and repression.  Please free free to contact me for more information about these projects.
