My Research
My broad research interests lies in how women are affected by conflict. My dissertation specifically looks at how ethnic conflict affects household dynamics and women’s fertility decisions. I examine this dynamic under the lens of feminist political IR theory.
I also have interests in nationalism and territory and borders. I currently have a working paper on how the variation in women’s participation in nationalist movements across Europe in the late 1800s and early 1900s affects current day gender attitudes.


About Me
Hello and welcome to my website!
I created this page to share my resources, writing, and a space for collaboration for fellow researchers. Here, you’ll find resources connected to my work, and updates on my ongoing projects.
In my free time I enjoy hanging out with my three cats: Cordelia, Louie, and Ollie. I also love watching horror films, reading fantasy books, and crocheting. During the fall and spring you can catch me watching football and basketball—Go Hogs!

I’m a PhD Candidate at Washington University in St. Louis, where I study how conflict impacts women’s lives. My research brings together feminist political theory, nationalism, and the dynamics of borders and identity.
