RESEARCH
My research contributes to the literatures on revolutions, state-building, and ideologies on one hand, and the critical studies on media and misinformation on the other. I am currently engaged in two projects: (1) examining the impact of ideologies on state-building outcomes, and (2) investigating the connections between media discourses and capitalist/imperialist structures. I work within comparative research tradition and with computational methods. My research has been supported by Smith Richardson Foundation, German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD), and Yale MacMillan Center.
