I am an LSE Fellow in the International Relations Department, where I currently teach a course on genocide and collective violence. I hold a PhD from the Department of Anthropology at Columbia University, an MA from the New School for Social Research, and a BA from Cambridge University.

My scholarship is interdisciplinary and currently focuses on two key areas. First, I study how to analyse and critically engage with Jewish international politics. While much of this field has focused on the Shoah and/or Zionism, my work explores how Jewishness influences politics and social life in less obvious contexts, from Russia’s war on Ukraine to Milei’s Argentina. I am co-authoring an article with Dr Darcy Leigh, titled "Toward a Critical Jewish International Studies," for the journal International Political Sociology.

Second, I am developing a monograph based on my PhD thesis, which examines how the afterlife of the violence of European genocidal colonialism has been articulated, made legible, and recognized in Germany in the years since 2018. The book is grounded in many years of ethnographic fieldwork conducted between a courtroom in the USA, debates over the politics of memory in Germany, and struggles over landownership in Namibia. This work combines anthropology, sociology, international relations, and law, examining the politics of reparations and how narratives of Jewish suffering (such as the idea of Jews as victims of 'thefticide' or the idea of Zionism as Jewish emancipation) impact the way that the German state and German civil society apprehend the legacy of colonialism.

I have published on the question of reparations for settler colonialism in Humanity, for which I won the 2023 prize for best article. Another article on the relationship between German colonialism and Zionism is under preparation for the Journal of Genocide Research. My work has also appeared in E-International Relations and the Political and Legal Anthropology Review. I have written for NGOs, including the European Center for Constitutional and Human Rights (ECCHR) and the Rosa Luxemburg Foundation, and served as an editor for the online journal Europe Now. My research has been funded  by the Wenner-Gren Foundation and the Berlin Program for Advanced German and European Studies.

Aside from LSE, I have taught courses at Columbia University, IES Abroad, and UFSC (where I co-taught a seminar on the sexual and gendered politics of fascism). I am dedicated to inclusive pedagogy and political education, both inside and outside the academy. In 2023-2024, I won a student nominated award for inclusive teaching.
