Welcome!! မင်္ဂလာပါ။

I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of International Affairs at the University of Georgia’s School of Public and International Affairs. Previously, I was an Early Career Provost Fellow at the University of Texas at Austin in the Department of Government and a Post-Doctoral Fellow in the Politics of Race and Ethnicity Lab. I received my Ph.D. in Political Science from the George Washington University and my BA in Judaic Studies and Political Science from Yale University. I study Comparative Politics with a focus on ethnic politics, nationalism, minority-state relations, civil war and Burma/Myanmar politics.

My research has received support from various sources, including the National Science Foundation’s Graduate Research Fellowship and Doctoral Dissertation Research Improvement Grant, GWU’s Sigur Center for Asian Studies, and Women in Southeast Asian Social Sciences.
