Hi! I’m a political scientist studying international relations in North Africa and the Middle East. My current research focuses on foreign investment in global prestige sports like football ⚽ and motor racing 🏎️. I also work on the role of the military in protest response, public trust in the army, and problems of terrorism and extremist violence. At Princeton, I teach in the School of Public and International Affairs and the Department of Politics. I’m the proud husband of Liz Nugent and father of two girls.
