I am broadly interested in the causes, nature and outcomes of political violence, insecurity of minority groups, state repression, civilians in conflict zones and forms of resistance. I use a variety of qualitative and quantitative methods in my research, with a focus on text as data, "big data" for social science research, statistical analysis, network approaches, in-depth qualitative interviews and archival research.

I run a hard-science style “research lab” - the O/R Lab - which uses a team-based, multi-method approach to producing public-facing basic research related to oppression and resistance.
