I am a professor of political science at Middlebury College and former director (2022-25) of the KWD Collaborative in Conflict Transformation. In Fall 2025, I am a Visiting Senior Fellow at the Finnish Institute of International Affairs (FIIA).
My research focuses on international non-governmental organizations (INGOs), particularly in the humanitarian relief and human rights fields. I am trained in dialogue facilitation, basic mediation, and basic restorative practices.

I grew up in San Antonio, TX, went to college at Dartmouth, and then graduate school at UC Berkeley. I will forever cheer for the San Antonio Spurs. Outside of work, I spend my time with this guy and our two great kids, exploring the wonders of Vermont and beyond.
