Research Interests
I primarily research the overlap between international relations and media/communications. Some specific topics of recent research projects include the CNN effect, media framing during conflict, peace and reconciliation, and citizen journalism during conflict/crisis. I also conduct some research on media and democracy, especially in relation to elections.
