Welcome
I am currently an Assistant Professor at the University of Northern Iowa in the Department of Political Science, teaching courses related to International Relations, International Security, Foreign Policy, and Terrorism. I will spend the academic year 2013-2014 as an International Affairs Fellow with the Council on Foreign Relations. My research focuses on military organizations and civil-military relations, primarily in the developed world. During my fellowship I hope to carry out research specifically on issues relating to micro-level incentives for creativity and flexibility among military personnel, the relative efficiency of contractors and uniformed personnel, and other policy-related problems.
I am Co-Director of the Center for International Peace and Security Studies at UNI, and the Political Science Department's coordinator for undergraduate research, encouraging undergraduates to learn about research methods and to practice excellence in writing. I have recently been named to the Council for the Inter-University Seminar on Armed Forces and Society.
