Welcome! I am Assistant Professor of European Politics in the Department of Political Science at the University of Toronto in its St. George Campus, where I am also Director of the the Centre for the Study of France and the Francophone World (CEFMF), an Associate Graduate Faculty member of the Centre for European and Eurasian Studies (CEES), as well as Visiting Researcher at the ARENA Center for European Studies at the University of Oslo. I am the 2024 recipient of the Carolina de Miguel Moyer Young Scholar Award, which recognizes the scholar under age forty “who is judged to have made (through a body of publications) the most significant contribution to the interdisciplinary study of Europe.” Before coming to Toronto, I was Assistant Professor in the School of Government and Public Policy (SGPP) at the University of Arizona and Postdoctoral Fellow at the PluriCourts Centre at the University of Oslo. I received my Ph.D. in 2019 from the Department of Politics at Princeton University.
My research and teaching interests span comparative politics, law and society, and judicial politics. Most of my work focuses on Europe and the European Union (EU) and traces how interactions between lawyers, courts, and policymakers impact political development, social change, and the rule of law. My research has been published in leading peer-reviewed journals and covered in high-profile press outlets, and my new book with Cambridge University Press - The Ghostwriters: Lawyers and the Politics Behind the Judicial Construction of Europe - has been praised as “the most important book on European legal integration in decades” and has won seven major awards from the American Political Science Association (APSA), the Law and Society Association (LSA), the European Union Studies Association (EUSA), and the American Society of International Law (ASIL).
