My research falls under the broad umbrella of international relations and behavioral politics, seeking to understand the psychological micro-foundations underpinning political violence, war, and conflict across and within societies. My current projects encompasses several main themes: the role of emotions in political conflict, the effects of exposure to political violence on public opinion, group processes in foreign policy decision-making, and the psychological dynamics of polarization and extremism. I also have a longstanding interest in the Israel-Palestinian conflict and have a growing number of projects in the area of gender and politics.
