Research

My research interests include refugees, international conflict and the Middle East.  In my dissertation I study refugees' experiences, perceptions and opinions, in the context of broader structural factors, leading to their political mobilization and militarization.  I recently (2010-11) conducted field research in Jordan on Palestinian and Iraqi refugees.

In the past I studied voting patterns in the UN Security Council.  In the course of my research I combed through all meeting minutes of Security Council meetings and created a database of all non-unanimous votes in the UNSC since its inception in 1946 through 2006.  The database is in Excel format below.  Please cite as:
