My current teaching areas include comparative politics, Latin American
politics, democratization theories, and the politics of globalization. My research interests include topics
related to post-authoritarian politics including democratization,
neo-populism, and post-civil war participation. I have had a long-time secondary interest
in religion and politics. Recently, I
have written or co-written several papers that contribute to the scholarship
of teaching and learning.
