In a new article @isq-jrnl.bsky.social, Nazli Avdan, Shelby Davis (an excellent Ph.D. student @houstonpolsci.bsky.social), and I examine the role that women play as practitioners of magic in African rebel organizations. doi.org/10.1093/isq/...

Our latest publication with @markberlin2.bsky.social is out in @ispp-pops.bsky.social. We examine what happens when armed groups deny responsibility for violence and find that denials can erode trust in government and shape how people feel about violence. Read more here: doi.org/10.1111/pops...

Armed groups often publish denial statements to distance themselves from violent attacks. What effects do these statements have on public perceptions? Using a survey experiment, @ilaydaonder.bsky.social and I explore this question in this open access article! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Excited to see this online! @markberlin2.bsky.social and I find that radical Islamist groups are more likely to make diverse recruitment appeals because they tap into shared identity, emphasize multiple threats to Islam, and internationalize their fights. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

We are hiring! @houstonpolsci.bsky.social is seeking an endowed professor of international relations. I am on the search committee and am happy to answer any questions! careers.uh.edu/jobs/profess...
