My research primarily explores the political economy of digital technologies and technological change. However, my work also examines the promotion of global norms or agendas and methodological issues of measurement and scaling. In my book project (in development), I explain the origins and evolution of the global financial inclusion agenda and develop the theoretical concept of "participatory ambiguity" to advance our understanding of the dynamic relationship between global agendas and coalitions. My work is published or forthcoming in the American Political Science Review, International Studies Quarterly, the Review of International Political Economy, among others.

​

I have experience teaching courses in international political economy and research methods, including as a teaching assistant at the ICSPR Summer Program. As an instructor, I aim to incorporate active learning opportunities and real-world applications in all of my courses.
