Bio:

My primary research agenda explores the myriad ways in which conflict and elections intersect, with a regional focus on South Asia and Bengal, in particular. During the 2018-19 academic year, I studied Bangla in Kolkata, India, in an intensive language program held by the American Institute of Indian Studies (AIIS).
