I am an Associate Professor of Political Science at Stonehill College and a Visiting Scholar at the Center for Middle Eastern Studies at Harvard University. I specialize in international relations and comparative politics, with research examining the intersections of gender, religion, cybersecurity, digital politics, disinformation, and Middle Eastern politics. I am the coeditor of Critical Perspectives on Cybersecurity (Oxford University Press, 2024). My scholarship has appeared in numerous academic journals, including The Journal of Gender Studies, Global Studies Quarterly, The Journal of Human Rights, International Affairs, The Journal of Genocide Research, The Journal of Women, Politics & Policy, The International Feminist Journal of Politics, Political Research Quarterly, and Religion and Politics. In addition, I regularly contribute op-eds and analytical essays to outlets such as World Politics Review, Culturico, The Carnegie Council for Ethics in International Affairs, Foreign Policy, The Conversation, Times of Israel, Haaretz, Middle East Eye, +972 Magazine, Quartz, The Defense Post, The Jerusalem Post, Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, Albawaba, The New Arab, and The National, among others.
At Stonehill College, I teach Global Security Studies, Political Science Research Methods, US Foreign Policy, Political Islam, Politics of the Middle East, Terror, State and Society, Cyber Security, Politics of "Fake News," and International Politics.
I am currently serving on the Steering Committee for the Center for the Study of Race, Ethnicity, and Social Justice at Stonehill College. In the past, I was a Co-chair of the Faculty of Color Association at Stonehill College and a program Co-Chair on the executive committee of the Feminist Theory and Gender Studies Section (FTGS) of the International Studies Association. Prior to that, I served as a Member-at-Large on FTGS (2020-2022) and as a Member-at-Large (2019-2021) and the first graduate student representative on the executive committee of WCIS (2016-2018).
