I’m an Assistant Professor in Political Science at Brown University. I specialize in international political economy with a focus on geopolitics and global governance, the politics of international finance, central banking, and economic history. My research is driven by theoretical questions concerning the evolution of global authority shaped by globalization, and the conditions for international financial cooperation and coercion.
My book, Bankers’ Trust: How Social Relations Avert Global Financial Collapse (Cornell University Press, 2025), draws attention to a crucial element behind the resolution of global financial crises: trust between central bank leaders. My other work is published or forthcoming in International Studies Quarterly, International Theory, the Review of International Organizations, and the Review of International Political Economy. My writing has also appeared in the Financial Times, The Washington Post’s Monkey Cage, and the Phenomenal World blog.
Prior to joining Brown, I was an Assistant Professor in Political Science at Wellesley College. I received my PhD in Government from Cornell University in 2021 and was a Global Political Economy Project (GPEP) Pre-doctoral Fellow at the Mortara Center for International Studies, Georgetown University in 2020-2021. I hold an MSc in International Political Economy from the London School of Economics and Political Science, and an (undergraduate) MA in Economics and Politics from the University of Edinburgh.
