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.

You can see detailed information about my current projects here.
