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, authoritarian regimes, rule-of-law institutions, and politics of post-Soviet Eurasia.
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.
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.
