I teach the basic introductory courses in comparative politics, international relations, and American government.
My upper division courses focus on civil war and civil war resolution, the politics of Central and South America,
and US-Latin American Relations. If you'd like to learn more about the courses I teach and my teaching style, please
follow the Teaching link on the left.
In terms of research, my current work asks a fundamental question related to the transition of insurgent groups to political
parties following negotiated settlements to civil war that has only recently begun to be investigated. Namely, how do we account
for the success or failure of former insurgent groups as political parties? At the moment, this research combines qualitative
and quantitative analyses of two Central American insurgent groups that have undergone such transitions: the Farabundo
Martí National Liberation Front (FMLN) in El Salvador and the Guatemalan National Revolutionary Unit (URNG) in Guatemala. Please check the Research tab on the left for copies of my publications and working papers
in this area.
