Areas of Experience

I specialize in comparative politics (social conflict, religion, ethnicity and democratization) and Latin American politics and society. My primary research analyzes the impact of religious competition and multi-party politics on the dynamics of social protest, rebellion and inter-communal violence among ethnic minorities in Mexico. I am also working on state repression and human rights violations of political dissidents and religious minorities during the Mexican transition to democracy. My work combines quantitative methods with analytic process-tracing and case studies.
