Welcome!

I am an Associate Professor and Program Coordinator of Political Science at the University of British Columbia – Okanagan. My existing research examines various facets of the rule of law, including judicial independence, corruption, and equality before the law, generally in the context of Eastern European/post-communist politics. While still interested in these matters, my current major research project focuses on the uses of law and violence to suppress Black political participation in the post-Reconstruction American South.

My papers are available by clicking on the research link above, and you can find me on Google Scholar.
