Welcome to my site! I am Associate Professor of Psychology and Social Intervention at New York University. 

My research focuses on the study of social psychological processes leading to and maintaining intergroup conflicts, as well as processes that prevent violence, promote reconciliation, and positive social change. The overarching goal of my scholarship is to generate knowledge and develop theoretically grounded interventions to reduce violence and promote peace and justice. 

I employ multiple methodologies in my research, including field and lab experiments, surveys, and interview studies. I have situated my research in different parts of the world including Burundi, Burkina Faso, Democratic Republic of Congo, Rwanda, Turkey, the United States, etc. My research has been funded by Spencer Foundation, Russell Sage Foundation, USAID, American Psychological Foundation, Psychology Beyond Borders, etc.
