I am an Associate Professor of Diplomacy & World Affairs and a faculty affiliate of the John Parke Young Initiative on the Global Political Economy at Occidental College. I teach, research and write about global political economy, democracy, autocratization, courts and other rule-of-law institutions.
My research and commentary have appeared in Communist and Post-Communist Studies, Democratization, European Journal of Politics and Gender, Europe-Asia Studies, Review of International Political Economy, The Washington Post, Just Security, The Moscow Times and other publications.
My first book Global Finance and Local Control: Corruption and Wealth in Contemporary Russia was published in the fall of 2021 with Cornell University Press. It was named the co-winner of the 2023 Best Book Award given by the International Political Economy section of the International Studies Association to "an outstanding monograph in the field of IPE published within the past two years."
I received a doctorate in Government from Cornell University in 2015. Before coming to Oxy, I spent five memorable years in the Department of Political Science at Wellesley College. I have also held appointments at the Cornell-in-Washington Program, the Harriman Institute at Columbia University, and the Monterey Institute for International Studies. I am a native of Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, where I had the good fortune to study at the Physics and Mathematics Lyceum #61.
