I am a 2024-2026 UC President’s Postdoctoral Fellow in the Travers Department of Political Science at UC Berkeley.
My research focuses on the politics of race and racism in international law. In my dissertation and book project, I examine norms and agreements between states as legal outcomes of racial hierarchy in world politics. My work is published in the Annual Review of Political Science, International Studies Review, Security Studies, Politics, Groups, and Identities, and International Politics.
I received my Ph.D. and M.A. from the Department of Political Science at UC San Diego, and M.P.P. and B.A. from UC Riverside.
