Welcome

I am an Assistant Professor at the Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter School for Peace and Conflict Resolution at George Mason University and author of PEACE INFRASTRUCTURES: How UN Peace Operations Build Roads, Bridges, and Solar Farms in the Pursuit of Sustainability (MIT Press, 2026).

As an urban geographer, I explore questions around urban and environmental risk and conflict, and their connections to opportunities for peacebuilding, resilience planning, and climate action – through both research and teaching.
