Research Focus
My research explores various aspects of contentious politics under authoritarian rule. It is inspired by the day-to-day workings of authoritarian rule, and the ways in which seemingly stable authoritarian institutions begin to break down. My research interests include authoritarianism, social and protest movements, state-labor relations, and the mobilization of the unemployed.
