About me

I am an Associate Professor in the Department of International Relations at LSE. I am also the Deputy Head of Department (Teaching and Learning). I specialise in International Political Economy.

Prior to my start at LSE, I was an Assistant Professor at Middlebury College (2008-2013) and a fellow at the Niehaus Center for Globalization and Governance at Princeton University (2012-2013).

I have a Ph.D. in Political Science and a Master’s in History from Stanford University. I am also an alumnus of the University of Chicago (graduated 2003) and a member of Trinity College at Cambridge University (matriculated 2002). And I have been an Associate Member of Nuffield College at Oxford University.

My scholarship lies at the intersection of international relations, history, and political theory. Specifically, I am interested in the influence that ideas–and, more specifically, the intellectuals who wield ideas–can have on foreign policy. Drawing upon my previous training, I approach this agenda with the perspective and tools of a historian.
