I am a Fellow at All Souls College, University of Oxford, where I research authoritarian politics, revolutions, and democratization, geographically focusing on the Middle East and North Africa.

I co-founded the Oxford Authoritarian Politics Network, which organizes speaker series on non-democratic governance, convenes reading groups, workshops and events.
​
I am also a book review editor of Perspectives on Politics and a Senior Research Fellow at the Project of Middle East Democracy.
​
I was previously the Margaret Smith Research Fellow in Politics and International Relations at Girton College, University of Cambridge.h
