My current teaching areas include comparative politics, Latin American politics, democratization theories, and the politics of globalization. My research interests include topics related to post-authoritarian politics including democratization, neo-populism, and post-civil war participation. I have had a long-time secondary interest in religion and politics. Recently, I have written or co-written several papers that contribute to the scholarship of teaching and learning.
