Some news: I'll be starting as an assistant professor at Trinity College in Hartford, CT as of this coming summer.

I'm so excited to get started working with great colleagues. It's been a really tough series of markets, and I'm so lucky to have found a great place to teach and do research.

For the rubric “it ain’t much but it’s honest work”, I just got my first R&R (w/ Major Revisions) on a solo author paper.

It’s just the beginning, but these little wins definitely contribute in fostering my love for the path I’m pursuing & academia!

Article has an issue number! In the paper, I find that relational ties between states lower the rate of interstate conflict while simultaneously spreading political institutions. #conflictsky
