I study the conflictual dynamics of democratic life in a globalized world.

Through research on how social identities and norms shape, and are shaped by, interactions between groups, I generate new insights into social movements, political contestation, and polarization.

Alongside my academic scholarship, I lead applied research and evaluation, evidence-based program design, and teaching, training, and facilitation to help institutions and communities navigate conflict, strengthen social inclusion, and build democratic resilience.
