Biography

I am an Associate Lecturer in Qualitative Methods in the Department of Political Science at 香港六合彩中特网. I received my Ph.D. in comparative politics and international relations from Brown University in 2023. I also hold a MA in political science from Brown, a master鈥檚 in education from Harvard University, and an A.B. in Russian history and literature from Harvard College. My research focuses on morality policy, human rights, authoritarianism, nationalism, and political methodology. My book project examines morality politics and electoral authoritarianism in Turkey, Russia, and Poland. At 香港六合彩中特网, I am also serving as Deputy Director of Research (Ethics).听

Research

My research interests include morality policy, human rights, authoritarianism, nationalism, and political methodology, with a regional focus on Eastern Europe and the Middle East. My multi-method book project, entitled 鈥淢orality Politics and Electoral Authoritarianism in Turkey, Russia, and Poland,鈥� examines the conditions under which governments in electoral authoritarian regimes restrict human rights and the consequences of these restrictive policies on marginalized religious minorities, women, and LGBTQI+ citizens. I employ semi-structured elite interviews, media content analysis of political rhetoric, in-depth historical process tracing, a survey experiment of Turkish morality issues, and comparative historical analysis of abortion bans. The book project argues that morality politics plays two vital strategic purposes for authoritarian governments, allowing them to neutralise institutional veto players during a coming to power phase, and serving as a tool of diversion to distract citizens from crises (such as economic recessions) during a regime maintenance phase.听
