I am a political economist, associate professor of public policy and political science at Duke University, and co-director of the Duke Program on Climate-Related Migration. My research lies at the intersection of international relations and development, with a focus on foreign aid, migration, climate change, and the intersection of these areas, particularly with regard to climate change adaptation and the development of institutions for global public goods.

My research page contains information on my book, Targeted Development: Industrialized Country Strategy in a Globalizing World (Oxford, 2018); journal articles that have appeared or are forthcoming in BMJ: Global Health, International Organization, Journal of Politics, and World Development; invited contributions to edited volumes; and work in progress.

I regularly engage with policymakers, media, and general audiences on issues related to my areas of expertise. Check out policy reports and briefs, blog posts, podcasts, webinars, and media interviews, some of which you might find suitable as teaching resources in high school and college classrooms.
